March is Kidney Awareness month. In honor of my husband, Rick McCoy. All it takes is a simple blood test to find out how healthy (or not) your kidneys are. If your kidneys are not healthy, and caught early - the kidney diet/nutrition program is awesome at helping to repair and rebuild your kidneys. Rick received the diagnosis of Acute Kidney Disease with Renal Failure in January of 2012. His kidneys were functioning only at 21%. We were told that he could possibly live another 20 years without dialysis if he followed the diet/nutrition/exercise program. He was doing so good ... his kidneys improved to 27% in less than 6 months. Then, he got hurt at work, had to have surgery ... and his kidneys failed to less than 15%. Had we known about this simple blood test, we could have had him on the program for a lot longer, and the surgery would not have done what it did. Please - ask your doctor for the blood test that will tell you the BUN. I love you Rick - we tried, didn't we Sweetheart? I miss you.

Why this page?I wanted a place to share coffee thoughts & memes. I use Facebook & Twitter to do just that, however, I realize that many people are getting fed up with all the drama that is on either, and both. So many that were using those 2 social medias to stay in touch, have taken a step back - yet they still want to know thoughts that go thru this scattered widow's brain. If you are interested, here it is :) - - without the drama. |
