so now it seems that as well as surgery on both his knees and another operation he's due for in May, Dan might be needing kidney surgery for an arterial stenosis causing his high blood pressure. apparently it's quite rare but some people are born with it and it causes no other symptoms other than high BP so it can go undiagnosed for many years. i guess if that's the case, it's better to have been picked up now before it has time to cause too much damage.
he needs a renal angiogram to diagnose it for sure but they couldn't book it till the end of May. that's a long way away and i hate waiting. it gives you too much time to think of all the worst things that could happen. especially since on Scrubs the other day they were saying that 1 in every 3 patients that goes into hospital doesn't come out. i know Scrubs isn't something to take too seriously but still, there's at least 3 surgeries Dan needs this year.
