Called the doctor and the doctor said one more fart and we will all be dead!!

For real, Went to the primary last week and he said by the looks of the blood work it was time for dialysis, but would leave it to the kidney doctor.
Went to the kidney doctor today and he said that my numbers have not changed in 4 months and kidneys are holding there own for right now. But they are failing with my ceraton at 3.5 to 3.6, I guess my magic number will be 4.I asked if I will feel better after we start? he stated that the Anemia is the real problem as far as my engery goes and this will be helped after I start. I go now for a shot ever two weeks to get it on track. Thats why I have good and bad days, I am so happy I was able to go to the get together this past week end feeling well!
So he is going to see me every 4 weeks now to watch and as soon as I need to start we are ready!

So thats the update, Thank you everyone for your support!!

lots of iron in raisins joe

Foods such as broccoli, potatoes, and swiss chard are especially good choices because they contain high levels of both iron and vitamin C

Thanks everyone!!

Raven I love raisins!! But I have to watch the fruit as my potassium is way way thur the roof as they have me on meds for that also!
I will have to look into the raisins and see what they have?

I ate like crap, they said to eat better, so I started, then the kidneys went and now they say not to eat to many fruit and veggies! One of the worst is sweet potatoes, and I love them!!
