A slow but steady downslide...

my creatinine is now 2.0 Still not close to the 1.2 I was looking for but never less it is going down. I do not have to do the IV infusions any more but I need to continue to drink a lot of fluids. 2 weeks ago they had me resume my diuretic because my blood pressure was getting high. Now today I was told not to take it because it is bad for my kidneys. I was a little upset about that as it could be the reason my cr didn't come down as I had hoped. I was put on Lopressor for my blood pressure. I go back to Karmanos in 3 weeks. Dr. Ayash told me that my SCT would be postponed until at least September to give my body time to recover before proceding. I hope that I continue to have sucess with my softcell line as September is a long time from when it was placed May 2nd.
Yesterday we had a great birthday party at Steve & Jen's for Max, who turned 7 on June 16th. All of my grandkids were there and they had a good time swimming and playing together. Of course Dean did his usual thing-Sleep.
