My mom spoke to someone at the nephrologist's office today, and they said that even though they aren't really accepting new patients at this time, they will see me. I suspect this has to do with the fact that if they don't see me, my dad will most likely leave them and see somebody else, and then they would be out two paying patients. So, with my ultrasound results, medical records, and a referral from my endocrinologist, I'm in.
My mom also spoke to my endocrinologist today, and he has been looking further into my situation. Apparently my ultrasound results show indicators of chronic kidney disease, meaning (A) chances are I'll be dealing with this for the rest of my life, and (B) this is something that has been going on for a while and isn't an urgent problem. It's because of that last part that I'm not stressing out about not being able to see the nephrologist until May. MAY.
Oh well. I'm not on my death bed, so I guess I'll be okay.
