hello about 4 yrs ago i had my right kidney removed. i had what u call a horseshoe kidney and always had urine infection. since i was little. well didn't know about my condition untill i had to do the surgery. It was pain full to find that out. had no idea that i was born with that problem. i had 5 kids never once did they mension i had problems. one time i even had blood in my urine. but the doctor never told me i was sick. Well on Jan.22-05 they told me my right kidney was real bad. that it wasn't functioning. that they had to remove it. they said it looked like a DRY PRUM. well my heart sank. i didn't know what to do i was scared. But thank god i'm still alive. I'ts been 4yrs and i feel good.Well i just have i question. what can't u eat ? or were can i found out what i can't eat?
