So I just got retested yesterday and my gfr went up by 2 points and my creatinine went down by 1 point. At least it didn't go south.
I've been drinking 42 ounces of water every day and have discontinued all aspirin products.
My pcp continues to say it is age related since there is no blood pressure issue and no diabetes.
I'm just glad it seems to have stabilized. probably go back in another 3 months.

@mimi1234 Good for you! It's not easy to be watching out all the time, but after awhile, it will become more second nature, learning what our body is telling us.

Your PCP may be partially correct, but it is in your best interest to watch the numbers. If you feel it would give you more information, ask to be referred to a nephrologist.
