Tomorrow will be my first clinic appointment with my nephrologist, Dr. Richardson. That'll be around noon or 1pm. Tomorrow will also be my appointment with Dr. Bray, the plastic surgeon. I suppose tomorrow will be the day that I get assessed by this plastic surgeon and he'll tell me whether or not such a surgery will be covered by OHIP.
I'l ...

Last week Wednesday after getting my dialysis supplies delivered, I went to see an ENT doctor. He and a medical student looked in my ears and did not seem too concerned. A preliminary hearing test was done, and this test showed that my ears seem to be ok up to 15 decibels. But, just to be sure, the ENT wanted me to go and see an audiologist. ...

OK - so I'm back again, this weekend, trying to catch up on my blog posting. As you can see, I'm still posting one month in arrears. (I admit, I phrased that last sentence just to use the word "arrears").
I went to see my nephrologist back on April 7 for my normal quarterly appointment. They confirmed that my work-up from January all looke ...

I realize it's been a few weeks since I have posted. But, everything has been going well. I had my last nephrologist appointment about a month ago. The doctor said that everything was still looking good and that I did not have to come back until January for my annual Glofil. I also had my annual bone density scan done that day. It looks like my b ...

I went to the doctor again on Friday. They said that the CMV test results were negative. At least that is a positive thing.
They ran a sonogram on my transplanted kidney while I was there to see if there were any problems. The sonogram came up good, with nice blood flow running through the kidney. They said it looked like I was getting more fl ...

Well, actually it is on my kidney numbers. I am not due for a huge autoimmune work up until transplant or August...whichever comes first. The cellcept was working for the 4 months in a row according to the collected data for the Sjogrens. They continued to inch down. :) Hence why no new numbers there.
Are you ready for this??? My creatinine wa ...

I have been neglecting this here blog. It’s not for the lack of cute girl shots or stories. There’s plenty. Here’s one to keep you going:
Daphne got her first tricycle yesterday, and was appropriately excited. Unfortunately, it was one of the rainiest days ever, and she only got to “wide” in the living room. Then she made us all tak ...

ENT Visit (Forever-Cough)

Posted
Thu 19 May 2011 6:32am
OK. Here's the story so far. I had some allergy-related coughing and sneezing back at the end of March. At my nephrologist appointment, the doctor prescribed me a Z-Pak (this was early April). I took that for five days, but it did not really help. Then, I called them a few weeks later, and they prescribed me some Avelox (for ten days). That helpe ...

My first day back to work since vacation time was today. My shift went by relatively quickly which was nice. I felt like I could have worked the entire day...but if I did I'm sure I'd have come home, crashed, and wouldn't wake up again until maybe 9pm...not a good idea when it comes to trying to fall asleep again. But, I'm glad to be back...glad ...
