I don't usually talk about my personal health. There are so many more interesting things going on in the world and in my life. But today I want to share some really good news.
This morning I had a follow up appointment with my urologist. (I remember the days when I only had one doctor, but that was a long time ago.) Today's appointment was to see how I was doing after my 'acute kidney injury' that put me in the hospital for ten days in January of 2024 (two days after our wedding - not the honeymoon of our dreams).
My spouse went with me because I appreciate a second set of ears when hearing what a doctor has to say. My appointment was for 10:10am and I was instructed to arrive by 9:55am. We actually got there at 9:45am. I had signed in on line so we were told to have a seat. The only little glitch was that their credit card machine wasn't working so I couldn't pay my co-pay. I must remember to do that on line tomorrow.
We were soon called in to exam room #13, my lucky number. A good sign I thought, and I was right. The doctor came in after a very brief wait and reviewed with us the CT scan that I had had done a few weeks ago. He pointed out that there was a little bit of scaring on the kidneys but agreed with me that that could be because they are 80 years old. All in all he saw absolutely no problems, said I was good to go and didn't ever need to come back. Yay!
As we were walking out of the hospital to our car my spouse happened to look at the time. It was 10:02am. In and out in 17 minutes and all good news. That's my kind of medical appointment.
