Congrats on your great update news! I'm happy for you, and glad you shared. Creatinine and GFR, like all our blood count numbers are always fluctuating. I know how good it feels to see improvement. (And I do my best not to panic when my numbers do not show improvement - it's a dance, and my numbers have been all over the dance floor LOL)

One of the tricky things about kidney function that makes it a challenge is that we can't "feel" our function level, so we have to become familiar with the other symptoms (fatigue is a big factor), become comfortable asking questions (I keep a running list) and making sure we understand our doctors and nurses, and of course looking at our periodic blood test results to show us how we're doing. And yes so many other issues can have an impact, especially covid yikes!

Wishing you good days, and good numbers that make you feel like dancing! ❤🙏🏼😊
