I had a brief telehealth consultation with an East Coast renal dietitian this morning and I plan to work with her to try to make sure I'm eating to my labs and get some ideas about meal planning and what things Lex might cook for our family dinners that will satisfy everyone else and still be healthful for me.  She will be establishing with my insurance company how many hours of benefit I will have (maximum of three on the first referral) and there will be no cost to me.  She's already sent me pdf's for her forms and a referral form for Dr. Tekeste.  I've scheduled my first consultation appointment for a time when Lex could also participate.  There is no one local who is really a renal specialist.  If the weather holds, I'll bring the forms down to Dr. T's office tomorrow.

Here is a shot of a tree on the terrace taken at dusk.  I'm still feeling really tired and punk today, so I've been resting and cuddling Sylvie, who seemed really needy.
