this will be another big day, meaning, at 1200 tonight, those of who are not platinum can log in and register, at long last that is happening.  Currently our ship is at sea,headed back to New York, tomorrow will be sea, which is Friday, and Saturday, she has another boarding, that means after boarding on Saturday, one more to go the 23 of September.  we have 14 more cruise days to go, numbers are getting smaller

currently at sea 19 knots, 82 temperature and sunny.  Moderate speed.

I will share with you what was tried on me and what finally worked for me and you can take that info to your nephrologist and see what he thinks.  If you can find any numbers for protein in any of your tests that would be helpful.  You said in the beginning you did a 24 hour urine catch.  That is the best indicator of protein loss if you can access those results.  So, see you in 2 weeks roughly.

absolutely

defintely

what did you have in mind, regarding treatment.

this morning, I would have a cheese white egg omlette, with grits.  Toying with idea of gravy over a biscuit, without sausage in the gravy, since I cannot have it. 

good morning our ship is still off schedule, this morning at Freeport, Bahamas, 15 days to go, and 1 more day before check in online on the 15th. 2 more boardings to go. Our ship boards again on the 16th.

Those are definitely kidney disease numbers.  That's a crazy high BUN, high creatine and low iron.  My creatine at its worst hit 2.0, I had to have iron infusions twice and my egfr bottomed at 21.  I believe 17 is dialysis - we were already saving a vein for that just in case.  I want to discuss my treatment with you and hopefully Myriam as well.  See you at the Meet & Greet.  And enjoy that turkey bacon!🦃gobble, gobble

defintely

I do not have turkey bacon everyday, once in a while.  Have not had any for a long time, intend to have once or twice on the cruise.

Have you tried sausage gravy over your grits?  There's an eye opener.  Same gravy you'd eat on biscuits and gravy but over grits then put those over easy eggs on top.  Yum

sausage  gravy on a biscuit, was one of my favorites, but due to kidney disease, I cannot have meat, especially pork.  But you are correct, it was so good.

good morning, time for breakfast, what would you like and where.  I would have 2 overeasy eggs, turkey bacon, grits, fruits, and on course coffee.  Not sure where at.

This sailing stayed in the Bahamas due to Hurricane Lee. My friend is on that sailing. People weren't happy but safety first.  Oh and she caught covid already 🤦🏻‍♂️

safety first and always, sad about covid, still with us.  If everyone got a shot it would help

good morning to one and all, our ship is still at Nassau in the Bahamas, 16 days to go, and in 2 we can check in onlinefor 15 sept, only 2 more boardings to to

Myriam started packing today

It appears you appreciate a good breakfast.  They say you can have breakfast for lunch - I'm more of lunch for breakfast as it's 8am and I just finished a bowl of leftover chicken noodle soup.  My grandkids call me Garbage Grandma cause if it's a leftover, regardless of age, Grandma eats it!  Fuzz on that fruit, scrape it off, eat it.  I have been known to occasionally drink the water here as well!  GG

no, in the morning or not at all

for breakfast this morning it would be french toast with strawberries on top.  Not certain, if I could get strawberriess, but would have anegg white cheese omlette with it.

good morning, a change this morning, our ship wouldnormally goto San Juan, but a change was made to Nassau, Bahamas.  Why not sure of, but carnival cost involved.  Could it bedue to hurrican, I just do not know.  at any rate our ship is at Nassau. We have 17 days to go, and in3 we can register online for the 15th of september.  Only 2 more bookings togo

Myriam bought the red suitcase yesterday. No, she has not packed as of yet.
