The low oxsalate diet is showing results. My serum oxsalate level has gone from 7.4 last March to 5.6 in July and is now 3.5. Of course that's still twice the normal level, but at least it's falling which should mean that my kidneys will calcify at a much slower rate. Beyond that, my hemoglobin is in the normal range, while my white count continues to be low, but not hazardously so. In general, I'm pleased. Last week I finished this charity quilt. I even quilted it myself. It's made from partialy donated fabric and intended for some mid-age kid at Youthville. Turns out that I've quite fallen in love with this one. It may be that charity will begin at home.
Remember the first Monkshood blooms I showed you several weeks ago? Well, it's still blooming and even more magnificent now. We are hours away from a possible killing frost, and it's almost November. I love that this one blooms so late.
Shelby and I enjoyed this post a lot. We love the quilt, the humor, the fact that your lab results were positive and we particularly liked the picture of the kidney! Shelby thinks you are a hoot.
