 renal angioplasty
Hi Ruthie and Celeste,
Bertha in Indiana checking in. I agree, don't ignore any symptoms. What we have is still just "unusal" enough that docs are still learning about it themselves.
I just had renal angio of the right kidney. Left one looks OK for now, but the doc will check every six months. Meanwhile, back in the carotids, right side is now app 70% blocked so I'm on hold while my docs confer to see where we go form here. Angio of the carotids confirmed fmd in both carotids and the vertebrals. Naturally, its up high in the brain where plasty and stenting is fiy. Oh yes, stenting in my renals is out of the question, too, because of where its located. Are we having fun yet?
I feel basically good except for an occassional migraine. That's good and bad because symptoms help you to know when something is not quite right and I don't always have symptoms.
God is still in the blessing business and Ii'm looking forward to a joyous and uncomplicated Christmas season.
Happy Holidays to all. May the New Year hold Joy, Peace, and Wellness for us all.
God Bless,
Bertha
