We really like Dr. F. Not only is she a well respected kidney doc but she refuses to play the corporate game of scheduling a patient every 15 minutes. She is so well established in the community that she can get away with being a bit of a maverick. For new consults she schedules 90 minutes. That was pretty standard when I started out in the medical world but sadly is rare now. And she is down to earth. Her hobby is taking care of her rescued burros!
Dr. F says the new chemo regime that Dr. M discussed at the last oncology visit will not hurt the kidneys and would probably be a good thing. We'll find our more about that next month.
We have a new addition to the family - two dogs! We had been without dogs for four years, after many years of multiple dogs and dog activities. We now have two Havanese, male and female, from Havanese rescue. Their owner was unable to keep them due to severe illness, so we adopted them. Pippa and Nikko are three years old, happy little dogs, quiet (unless someone comes to the door), playful, and best of all, no house training issues!
I still can't get a photo from my iMac to this blog. Phooey.
