Well I'm posting again LOL
but this is about me now though.
i just want to let this problem of mine.
well it's not a big problem though but it's in my life forever.

if you read my recent tweets you'll see that I'm tweeting that I'm having a ct scan etc.
this is the story of that:
last month suddenly my upper right abdomen hurts badly specially when I'm walking
my mother told me to have a check up
so I go home and go to the hospital for a check up
my doctor didn't say anything but when I saw the medicines that she prescribed
I already know that I'm acidic
well I'm not a soft drinks lover and i don't drink alcoholic drinks often
so i think the reason is I'm not eating at the right time always
my doctor also advised me to have an abdominal ultrasound
the day after I have my ultrasound and the result is ---
my left kidney is not seen!
I'm not nervous at all because maybe it's not accurate (well maybe I'm in denial)
after my doctor saw the results of the ultrasound,
she advised me again to have an abdominal ct scan for accurate findings
so I went to hospital again for the ct scan.
and I already expect the result and I'm right
the result is I DON'T HAVE LEFT KIDNEY
it's congenital (in born) that I don't have my left kidney.
again I'm not nervous because I know I can live with one kidney
but I'll expect that my diet should be changed
i have a consultation to a nephrologist (kidney doctor specialist)
and advised my diet:
low fat, low salt and low sweet
i have to put away pork and beef on my diet, i can eat it but not always
i can only eat chicken and fish
and i have to avoid having hypertension (high blood pressure)
and diabetes (high sugar levels)
because my kidney will fail fast if i have this diseases
I have only one kidney now and i have to take care of it >.<
my doctor said that she has also a patient like me
and my case is very rare.

whenever I eat I think of my diet so I choose the diet that bests for me.
good think that I'm not getting hard to avoid soft drinks and junk food that is
a very no no in my diet now LOL
I already accepted my condition so I guess I'm okay with it haha
sore dake ^^
