Juicevember 15th: halfway home. Will the breeze be at my back or in my face for this second leg? Im hoping today will NOT be an indicator of things to come. Got a call from my doctor this morning, and Im guessing that its rarely good news when your doctor calls you first thing Saturday morning. She had good news and not so good news. First, the results of my liver panel came back all within normal range, which is already an improvement from my initial screening about a month ago. Thats the good news. The not so good news was that my levels of creatinine were still elevated, and that she wanted to make sure I kept my appointment with the nephrologist in early December. Actually, if possible, she wanted me to get on their cancellation list, so that they might see me even sooner. Looks like years of abuse have not left my internal organs entirely unscathed, as I may well have lost a significant portion of my kidney function. Ill know more after that appointment, but prayers and words of advice from people who have experienced similar problems are greatly appreciated. Second - there were a LOT of leftovers from my daughters Dora birthday party. I mean, what seemed like ten pounds of taco meat, quesadillas, etc. Stuff that I would have gobbled by the large spoonful at pretty much any other point in my life. Saying no to all of that delicious food made me feel extremely weak, and made me wonder if I can in fact make it through this entire month. However, I know that God uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong, and that my strength was never particularly strong anywhere outside my own head. Even though it doesnt feel like it now, I know this represents another victory, and another step towards subduing this addiction permanently. I cherish all of the support Ive gotten so far, and look now towards finishing strong! #juiceon
