My last update to those who wish such (i know some of you don't, just quit reading and move on, please) was a praise report that I was OK'ed for a Kidney Transplant. Since then a couple of you have offered to test to see if you can be my donor and I am truly gratefull. More than words can say. To the smart alecks who asked if these folks had done any transactions with me the answer is a resounding yes and each of them more than one transaction. I just got the potential donor cards to mail to you and they will be mailed to you soon.
Here are the big problems I am facing today, and for which I would covet your prayers as they are pretty scary or troublesome:
1) despite being on high doses of Lisinopril, Lasix, Chlorthalidone, Toprol XL and small amount of Asprin my blood pressure since Saturday has been apx 200/110. Just now it measured 191/110 and it was confirmed at two Dr appointments today. This is dangerously high and could lead to another heart attack or a stroke.
2) My BP being this high has caused me to have just a RAGING headache for now four days and nights. So miserable I did not even make it to Church on Sunday even though I got up and dressed to go. I LOVE going to my church.
3) REALLY troublesome is that my too high BP has now caused bleeding inside of my eyes. A small hemmorage in my left eye, and a large area that looks like a big bruise in the back of my right eye. The Eye Dr I went to printed of the pictures of the inside of my eyes and e-mailed the photos with an urgent message to the Dr who is prescribing my BP meds and trying to get my blood pressure under control. I am seeing that DR at 2:30 today. I am afraid that he is going to have to just about knock me out with BP meds to get it controlled. The condition in my eyes is called "Hypertensive Retinopathy" It can get better and go away, but not until I get my BP down and quit the asprin (which I use to prevent a stroke or heart attack. What to do???)
So, to those of you who believe in Gods healing and protective powers (and I do!) and who pray, I would appreciate your remembering me in prayer and asking God to bring my BP down until I get my kidney transplant.
Thank you so much, in advance,
MARK

PS My blood pressure is so high and difficult to control because my Kidneys, through which ALL of our blood supply has to travel, are blocked up with "innumerable" (according to the ultrasound report) Cysts in them. Much more cyst material than kidney on both sides. Though dangerous, I will more than likely have to have both of my old kidneys removed when I undergo the transplant procedure.

You have my prayers for healing.

Thank you, everyone. I just had a bad, very sharp pain in my left eye, glad I get to see an MD in a couple of hours! Seeing a local pain specialist and finally got into a big pain clinic out of town for a first appointment tomorrow. We have to get the gout pain and headache under control to help the BP come down and give me some quality of life back. Local pain guy is going to inject my gout inflamed right hip (one of the reasons I have not been on a motorcycle in a long while)
