Kidney function is better

Two days ago we went for Doug's Zometa infusion in Salida. The pre-infusion blood test showed a creatinine level of 1.5 and GFR is 50. That is better -- at least a slight upswing on the GFR. Normal creatinine is around 1.0, so he's not "normal" but we'll settle for improved. As I have said before, "Whew". The doctor had written orders to withold Zometa if the Creatinine level was above 1.5.

More good news -- Doug has recovered from his cold with no complications. So we are set to take off for Texas! We'll leave Monday in our little truck camper if the weather is okay. We plan to stay only two weeks, as Doug has a Dr. appointment coming up. We'll be visiting an old friend west of San Antonio.

Love to all!
