I've been waiting a couple of months to post this. Most of you know I was to have kidney reconstruction surgery at Duke Medical. After going through several PNC exchanges (tubes going through my back into my kidney) I went down to Duke Medical on June 16th to have a set of x-rays taken and meet with my surgeon to determine when was the best time to schedule surgery which I was wanting to get it over but not looking forward to it. My surgeon showed me the x-rays and pointed out that my kidney was now clear. No scar tissue or blockage. Clear as it could be. Take in mind that I saw the original set of x-rays and clearing saw the problems. I ask him to explain why and he said he could not explain it. He did say he wanted to wait a little while to make sure. I went down yesterday to have x-rays taken and they confirmed all was well. They took the last tube out and I am on the road to discovery. I am a Christian and know without a doubt that this happened because of the great Duke Medical staff, prayer, faith and the will Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and positive thoughts. You are my great friends even though I have only met just a few. May you all be blessed as I. Thank you all Phiilip. OFC

Sky I go back to Duke on the 13th of Sept. Then the doctors want to confer and come up with a new plan for me as my latest treatment hasn't been working very well. Every day is an adventure.
