Folks--After CAT scans, Mra,s, Sonograms my cardiologist sent me to another doctor this past Monday. All of these reading were sent to this Doctor. During the consultsation he told mywife and I what the story was causing my BP to run away. He found my left kidney was 1/2 the size of my right . Stated that it probably had not been functioning as it should for a couple years--but when this happens the small kidney secretes material (can,t remember what he called it) and that secretion directly can increase your blood pressure. Hopefully today or tomorrow I will get his call for the operation. He stated he would stint to stop secretion of the small kidney and kill it,s function---also he would stint to open another large artery in my kidney area. His statement was--"I can easlily see why your blood pressure jumps". Stated I would have to spend one night in the hospital. Folks, I am so high on getting this done. Pray for me, the Doctor, and staff and may God bless all of you and your families now and always---Will

That is a wonderful Christmas gift. It sure is amazing what they can do now a days. Are you getting around OK? Was it one of those deals where they operate on you without having to make a big incision? So you are home two days after the procedure and in church by Sunday?

Folks--I get tears when I read your posts. Just wanted to add that of the 2 medicines I am now taking only 1 is a pulse regulator. The other I believe is Plavic--a blood thinner. Haven,t taken a single pill of my Normal Blood pressure medicine since Thursday morning before the stint insertion. Blood pressure is staying very good--I can,t belief it. I am so afraid it is too good to be true. Man ,I have some good friends, some good Doctors, and also a great God. --Will
