1. Now that Kootenai Health's Dr. Bieber is in charge of my kidney care, I'm having my labs drawn at Kootenai Health. I don't need to leave the house so early, so that's good, and I discovered today that things in the lab move along in a friendly and efficient manner.
All good news.
As a bonus, right outside the laboratory services area sits a coffee vendor. So, having been fasting for over twelve hours, I ordered and very much enjoyed a 16 oz triple latte.
2. When I had my labs drawn in Spokane, I loved following them up with a trip to Great Harvest.
I think in CdA my "place of love" will be the Breakfast Nook. I grabbed a seat at the counter after I grooved on my latte and not only enjoyed my food, but enjoyed the decidedly senior citizen vibe in the diner and the always friendly, quick, and expert service.
3. The test results began to come over the wireless once I arrived back in Kellogg. Almost everything looked good and stable, with one exception. Have I mentioned in past blog posts that never seen before traces of protein are showing up in my urinalysis numbers? I've been reading up on this development --it's called Proteinuria -- and am going to hold back on worrying too much about it until I either hear from Dr. Bieber or until I talk with him in April.
Two things I know I can do to address this development: continue to work on bringing down my weight and continue to do what I can to keep my blood pressure down.
