While in Vietnam I heard a crack as I was getting up one morning and looked up to see a small round hole in the tile. Where my head had been seconds earlier was an M16 round. Feel like I dodged a bullet there - and that I just dodged another one.

 

Bone marrow biopsy among numerous other tests shows a precursor stage of myeloma called MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) which means there is a clone of plasma cells in the bone marrow. But they are not malignant. Only a small portion of patients with MGUS go on to develop active myeloma and even then, it can take years.

 

So now the focus is on what hammered my kidneys last summer and fall. Nephrologist believes I've lost seventy to eighty percent of function: either some drug or combination of drugs that I was on, or possibly an infection from a parasite (Toxoplasmosis) that manifested in my left eye last December and was quickly treated. Next up is a kidney biopsy but even if it comes to a transplant, I have five siblings who are waiting to test if needed.

Feel MOST fortunate!!! Sometimes, the good guys win (at least, I've always felt like I was one of the good guys.) And without question, all the support I got from family and friends carried me through and will continue to. 

 

Now, I'm going to go out and get drunk - since I don't drink, it won't take much.

That's great news Harry congratulations!

 

As far as getting drunk is concerned, try to lay off the beer. With limited kidney function the piss may back up and your head will explode.
