Yesterday was an eye opening at the Leipsic St. Mary's church social. Before hand I played a few hours of solo with my parents and Aunt Joan. We ate supper at the event, and afterward we played another hour or so of cards at Joan's house. I am not at all putting a damper on my time spent at the social. Despite not arriving in time to watch any softball which I do early every year when I go to this particular church social, I found it beneficial networking with many people. I made a possible speaking contact for the high school at Leipsic. And I met with Gary, who may help me write my book. To top everything off I was the big winner in solo.

Last night was a grand time playing cards with my relatives. The only uninviting aspect of the evening was the fact that huge indentation marks existed on my thighs after I stood up. My kidney malfunction is causing my whole body to retain water. Beginning to outgrow my clothes I am, and my shorts and pants are beginning to not fit well. It is lik I am getting too fat to wear my clothes, but I am not. Water retention is vausing me to swell up. There is nothing that I have control over and worrying about it is a waste of time. I do have a doctor appointment with Dr. Moser on Wednesday, though. He is a kidney specialist, and hopefully he can solve my problem.

Last night was a fun filled night hanging with the cousins and some of their spouses. At fist we met at the Ottawa park to watch April's game. While there I saw Kim and Emily, too. It was a shock to see them both. Afterwords or group did the traditional thing, and we went to the Bombshelter to have pizza. Delicious it was as usual. I saw many people that I knew and even met this Mary lady, and she was Jack and Kevin's friend. I hardly ever see those guys so I will likely never see Mary again. Oh well... I like meeting new people. Thanks to Brad and Kathy for taking me out!

Well it is Father's Day weekend, and that mean a number of things...mainly two: 1) Sunday is the Leipsic St. Mary's Parish social. Usually I make it over to that. But more importantly I am going to hang out with my cousin and her husband (Kathy and Brad) tonight, and my cousin Clint may be hanging with us.

I went to mass this morning with Mom, because it was a mass for my grandmother. Afterwords I went with her o get her hair cut, because afterward we went to go get a blood sample taken. I have a significant headache this afternoon.

Well... I went to my kidney specialist, Dr. Moser, today, and at first m appoinment almost did not exist. The doctor had been contacted by the doctor from Boston regarding my biopsy results (which is why were there today,) but a printout was not available. The wait was on, and it took awhile but it was scompleted. The doctor sounded optimistic about fixing the problem, but he prescribed steroid usage for five days to clear up some scarring in my kidney. I dont like taking the five day series of pills, becuse they made me break out with acne on my face. I dislike the typically teenage acne problem, but I can handleit for about a week. I have another appointment with Dr.Moser next week, and we will hopefully find out more then.

Today I will attempt to volunteer at the hospital. My blood pressure is under control now, but I have this very long lasting headache that has occurred two out off the last three days. Hopefully it will be OK today! My doctor appointment is tomorrow which should be interesting to say the least! I am anxious to hear what Dr. Moser has discovered in light of my biopsy results, which should arrive back from Boston today. If the news is good, super... and if it is bad oh well, I'll deal with it.
