In The Blood

So here I was worrying about other people's bloodwork when maybe I should have been worrying about my own. It simply hadn't occurred to me that something might come back negatively for myself. I guess it's the ol' "happens to other people" syndrome.

My doctor did not seem terribly worried, she just told me to have it checked again in a month or so then she gave me a copy of the paperwork for my primary. Something is wrong with my kidney function. Strangely, I'm not overly worried either but it is one more thing to keep an eye on. I had a horrible kidney infection when I was a kid and my grandmother had kidney disease. Actually, my grandmother also had a horrible kidney infection when she was a child and after that she had trouble.

But, still... I'm not that worried, just a smidge. I'll get it checked again in a month and I'll start making a point of drinking more water again. I haven't been drinking nearly enough lately. In fact, I'll go over during my lunch today to buy a case. That way I have it around my apartment, especially to sip while I'm writing.
