Cool kidney issues

Just had an ultrasound of my kidneys - I asked the nurse the situation and she said I had "multiple cysts' although she could not give me a count. Asking for prayers that this is not the dreaded polycystic kidney disease.
I will find out more when I go to my urologist's appointment in a couple of weeks' time. Asking for prayers that the news will not be too bad.

I’m sure you’re loaded with heavy thoughts. You don’t know until you know. Until things are clear, ride your bike hug your loved ones and be positive. It never hurts to drink a gallon of water a day and go for walks. No matter the news you’ll be better with some exercise and being hydrated. Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t control. Isaiah 33:24, Revelation 21:4, 2 Corinthians 1:3

Hang in there. We’re all routing for you.

If by it helps any multiple cysts may not be anything to worry about. I have had multiple cysts on my kidneys and a blood tumor in my liver for years and it isn’t a problem.

I had part (1/3) of my kidney removed last June, it’s not fun, so you definitely have my prayers

Hi clackavosticus,
All our best wishes to you from Germany too!

Speaking of age, here are two videos about Peter from Germany. When the first video was filmed, Peter was 87 years young, the owner of a 1928 Harley sidecar motorcycle!

Part 1:

Part 2:

What more can be said? Passion has nothing to do with age; passion is timeless. The German biker Peter is the best proof of how wonderful that is!
With that in mind, I wish you all here in the forum a happy 2026, and many more kilometers and miles!

Mike
PS The video channel on YouTube is highly recommended, a source of joy for every fan of very old motorcycles, definitely check it out...
