Lindsey,
Just saw your response from last Sept. So sorry it took so long for me to figure out how to use this chat board.
I live in Lakeland, very near you! I also had renal closure in the right renal artery and had an agioplasty last June 6th, 2003. My BP went back up within a month. My cardiologist finally admitted in Dec. that perhaps the artery was closed again. I had another angioplasty on Jan. 8, 2004 with a camera inserted this time, and sure enough one of the four closures from last June was not open. The camera shows that this latest angioplasty has worked. My BP is somewhat better, but I'm still taking 3 meds. I am now going to see a urologist on Feb. 11th, because the right kidney is draining very slowly (maybe a stone, but I suspect permanent damage).
Please update me on your condition and how you are progressing. We need to keep in touch, as you are the only person in this immediate area that I know has this problem. Perhaps we can pool resources, recommend doctors etc.
Patty
