I haven't done an update in a while.. I had a kidney MRI last week in Dallas and its grown a little bit, but not enough to freak out.. although that's 2 MRI's in the last year that its grown somewhat.. I have a video conference with the urologist tomorrow to discuss the future..
Had a Dallas cardiologist appt the same day.. She's ready to fix the heart hole whenever I'm good to go.. Its an elective procedure, so its low on the priority list..
Had a local cardiologist appt today.. He's scheduled a treadmill stress test this Friday to see if my heart can take it.. if I pass, then we'll schedule the kidney tumor removal.. if I don't pass, I don't know what we'll do.. probably do another stent or two.. but he did mention that I've been getting zapped with an awful lot of radiation lately and the human body can only take so much radiation.. so, we hafta be careful with how we proceed..
I kinda wished they could do a stent at the same time they fix the hole.. Both are done with a cath through the groin, so you'd think they could do both at the same time.. I'm a little gun shy, tho, because a lady just went in for a stent and died when a piece of plaque broke off and clogged everything up.. that kinda make sme not wanna do anything..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
