I came across an article yesterday about how scientists have built an artificial kidney that could possibly one day be implanted in humans. Right now, the device is too large for implantation, but in the next 5-7 years they plan on having a much smaller device that could perform the many functions of the kidney. Simply amazing!
So I have officially become scared to go to doctors now. I am getting those doctor/dentist/eye appointments in before the start of the school year (can you believe in 2 weeks I start already!) and it has been a while since I have done these. Well, in years past I never really thought twice about regular appointments, until now. I was kind of freaking out inside while I was waiting to be called back, just thinking that the doctor would find something really wrong. I think I now associate the doctor with bad news, makes me put myself in Mark's shoes and how it must be for him to go to the doctor. I actually told the denist yesterday to stop talking about a possible procedure I may have to have because it was making me feel a bit anxious.
It will be nice to be able to go to a doctor finally and recieve good news of how awesome Mark's new kidney is working. Until then....Mark and I will freak out together! At least we have each other.
