Everything's OK

I had my appointment with Dr. Linsey yesterday. Basically all is well. Dr. Linsey said that I definitely only have one working kidney. My left kidney is totally nonfunctioning and there is no hope of it ever functioning again. I asked if I will need surgery to have the bad kidney removed and he said no, that it would become scar tissue. Surgical removal of the left kidney would just be a big, risky surgery that is not necessary at this time. The good news was that my right kidney is working very well and I should continue my vegan diet as a vegetarian diet is best for kidney function. WHEW!!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!

In other news, the kids' handmade mother's day gifts were precious and hilarious. They made books entitled, "Beth the Magnificent!" Ryan wrote that in mom's free time she likes to play outside and go shopping, she loves to cook tostadas, and she looks beautiful in her shirt and pants. Kylie wrote that going to Hip Hop class makes her mom happy and mom looks beautiful when wearing her pink gown. Finally, Janie wrote that in her free time, mom likes to sleep and eat peanuts and would love to take a trip to her mom's. The pictures are the best!
