I think it’s terrible for you to have to wait several weeks for an appointment. Stay calm. I’m sure the nephrologist will answer your questions, Hugs
I was referred toba nephrologist yet it takes a few weeks to get an appointment. I had a nephrologist in Connecticut yet moved to Maine and didn't establish care yet. I was always stable with my kidney disease yet it decreased. I just had more bloodwork and it went from 34 to 46 the egfr so just waiting on my appointment now.

Darcy, I drink a small glass of cranberry, sugar free, to help control UTI's that I get more and more often. Don't know if it really helps. Like you I like ice water but hard to get what I need down everyday. So much water for a leaky bladder.
