trying not to worry

I've just come back from the kidney specialist. Both kidneys are only functionning at around 30% at the moment; he doesn't know why. He asked me a lot of questions about my medical History, and I've got to get a further blood test, kidney ultrasound and 24 hour urine sample for next week when I go back to him.
I'm trying not to worry though. Dad assures me that it is hopefully just an infection which can be fixed with tablets. -- It's only since 07 when this has happened as the specialist got some blood results from back then and they were totally fine.
He said this could very well be linked to my tiredness; or some of it anyway.
What can I do? I shouldn't worry myself stupid til I get some more results.
Til Next time, RdFreak

*Huge hugs.* I'm sure they'll do all they can to find out what's wrong and sort it out. I know things like that can keep you up at night, but try not to worry too much as no one will be able to do or know anything until the test results come back. I'm sending positive and healing energy your way.

Thanks shon, yeh, you're right; no use worrying any further at this stage as he doesn't have any results yet.
Thanks for your positive thoughts and energy; *huge hugs back*

Try not to worry too much

Hi, Rachel! I can't blame you for being a little bit worried while you wait for your test results, but worrying about them won't help you at all, so, tempting as it is, please try not to worry too much. Hopefully your Dad is right in guessing that you probably have a kidney infection. Please keep us posted with further news about this kidney problem of yours.
