Well, just returned from yet another appointment. This time they want to stick a needle in my throat!!! And why do they want to plunge this needle into my throat? Because they want to investigate a possible thyroid growth, that seems benign. Every professional opinion seems to believe it's fine, but why not plunge the needle anyway to be sure!
Oh yeah, tomorrow I'm suppose to have an ultrasound of my dice. Who come up with these crazy ass exams? I feel more like a lab rat then a patient at this point.
Once again, I don't know how this is going to work out at this point...hoping for the best, but looking fairly bleak.
Options at this stage, continue dialysis...complete this gambit of strange exams...hope for cadaver kidney over the next five years. And of course the cadaver kidney has a limited lifespan...so I'll end up back in the same situation some years later.
If not already apparent by now I'm still feeling low. Nothing seems to cheer me up these days. I feel as though my entire future and that of my family has been constricted and is held hostage by this kidney failure.

Hi Marshall,
I am sorry you down today. Cheer up. :-) Hang in there. I will give you a call later on to catch-up and see if I can cheer you up.
Hopefully the 3rd time is a charm and this message gets posted. As I have stated in the two post that you probably will never get...they are in cyber-space or blog heaven i don't know. But this is my first time blogging. My first attempt sent the message to my email address haahahah I blogged my self. How crazy is that?
My second attempt had this message "
I am so sorry to hear about your condition. How messed up is it that i was mad because you didn't stay in touch....and took my sweater to Atlanta. I will continue to say your name in my prayers. Please email back."
So Hopefully and Prayerfully this message will be posted.
Good to hear from you Tracey...though you forgot about big daddy once I left the burgh. I'll have to ask around to get your email address, but I will stay in touch.
