The doctor called last night to give us the ultrasound test results. Apparently, Al has some underlying kidney disease, in addition to a cyst on his left kidney. I'm feeling pretty uneasy and nervous all over again. We don't know yet what this all means. He said we will need to see a kidney specialist once he is recovered. I think I'll call back today and see if we can just go ahead and be seen already. I don't really understand why he said to wait.
Al seems to be taking the news well. He is obsessing about purchasing a meat smoker. He brought the laptop upstairs and is researching some of the techniques he saw on the food network. He can't even eat solid food yet! He did manage to get down a couple of bites of fish last night. Oh, and he ate a piece of pear. But, it's such a chore to eat just a small amount of solid food. I'm researching kidney disease while he is researching meat smokers!
