Rosemary, I hope your fever is not because of anything significant and that you’ll feel better soon.
I’ve had some stressful days with my husband in the hospital because of a blockage in his small intestine. He’s been home for 2 1/2 weeks and finally is close to recovered. Last Sunday our son-in-law had a heart attack. On Sunday night our little dog Bella died after finding out a week earlier that she had kidney disease, at a cost of almost $500.
The good news is that today we leave for Rochester Mayo for my one year checkup. My blood work has been coming back normal and I feel good so I’m not expecting any problems, but there’s still some anxiety. My donor daughter will come with to have her blood work and urinalysis and will keep my husband, who has dementia, company. 🤞

@cmael, I feel good today. think I just needed a little reminder to slow down a little 😉
I hope that you will get that good report after your checkup. Hearing the words,"See you next year" has a beautiful sound!! I am sorry that I won't be in Rochester same time as you this year, I will be there end of April. I so much enjoyed meeting you and your family.
I hope that life's events will settle down for you and your family.
Let me know how your visit goes?

@cmael My goodness, you have had more than your share of problems recently. I am very sorry about your husband, son-in-law, and dog. My daughter's little dog also has kidney disease and has been getting progressively worse. She was diagnosed about two years ago and on medications but is now taking a turn for the worse. She is my daughter's baby, and I know how difficult it will be for her when she passes.
I hope your appointment at Mayo goes well, it sounds as if it should. I actually sort of look forward to my yearly appointment at MGH, it reassures me that all is OK.
Let us know how things turn out at Mayo.
JK
