Unusual Good News Bad News

So today I went to see an attorney that specializes in airplane crashes and medical malpractice. Since I the last airplane crash I was a part of that I can remember was probably when I was around 10 and I made one of those rubber band powered plane made of balsa wood (Do they still make those?) or maybe a paper airplane but the paper planes have a less spectacular crash.

Anyway, it is obvious why I was there. We talked for awhile (he used to live about 4 or 5 houses down from me many years ago but more importantly he came highly recommended by a few legal minds that I trust) and he thinks I have a good case. The main problem is the good news I am alive, my kidneys are recovering and I should recover. The bad news is this isn't exactly the best news for the law suit (ie, less $ for me, the insurance company, and the attorney) but I am ok with that.

In an unrelated story, I began the process of switching Nephrologists. I called my primary care doctor to get a referral to a doctor that used to be the head of the state nephrology association. Once I get the refferral (probably on Friday) then I can call and try to get a doctor's visit scheduled. I will be ecstatic when that happens.

They took more blood to run more tests last week. Hopefully they will have that tomorrow.
