    ........thank you for asking on the kidneys lol.
    Unfortunately, my function is still decreasing, still at stage 3 thankfully, but due to a drop in the number within 3 months my GP has had to push for for my referral for a quicker appointment with the kidney specialist (Nephrologist) that is in a few weeks time, originally it wasnt going to be until further on in the year.

    The quicker I get to see one the better, as I have to try to keep my function on level as much as possible, its only another 2 stages away from dialysis or even transplant, but staying hopeful and postive as I can;)

    Hope all is well with your families, and WOW amersall I can't believe your granddaughter is almost 2 years old!:eek: time flies lol.

    My appointment letter finally come through for my neph appointment, this will be at my local hospital on 22nd July at 1:50pm.
    Take a copy of my prescription and a urine sample.

    The neph's use the Urology dept at my local hospital as a satelite clinic, as the main hospital they come from is Cardiff University Hospital of Wales, so am glad I wont have too far to travel ;) xxx

    No news of Gerry by any chance?

    I did text some time back, but didnt receive a reply, but from the other site, she did leave a message to say she was doing ok, not sure if she had a transplant or not yet though, will be asking again to see how she is, and let you know xxx;)
