Nasty surprise

2 weeks ago, I landed in the ER and was there for 6 hours having test after test, 1 diagnosis was that I was dehydrated. Then I find my kidneys aren’t performing well. A time-sensitive blood test was done and it confirmed my kidneys aren’t doing well. I see my family doctor at the end of the month. The ER doctor was kind and concerned, but having to wait a month more or less is quite unnerving.
