    Kidney
    Stage III and one kidney failed because of a fluid build up. The fluid was aspirated and kidney function started to increase - at thirty percent now. I have scheduled a procedure for a stint with the hope of full function recovery, so our situations are not very similar. So all I can really offer is a bit of encouragement.

    Ed, I hope you are doing well. The kidneys really are amazing. If you where to talk to my nephrologist you would think he was talking about the brain or something. Any chance of at least partial function recovery?
