Way too Much

I went to the Doc yesterday to discuss the Seroquel thing, just wanted to make sure he is good to go as far as them contacting him. He said fine, so I emailed AstraZeneca this morning. 
I mentioned to him that I had gone for my Spirometry test on Saturday. He looks at me, says yes I see that. He then tells me that sofar, without the CT scan on April 1st, I have COPD, which covers several lung diseases, all of them chronic. I have Emphysema and Chronic Bronchittis. I was a smoker, since I was 11 till today when I am 46. 
Fu kYou Cigarettes
I am still booked for the CT scan on April 1st, with contrast dye. I have to stop my Metformin 48 hours before the test, they will inject the dye, do the test, test my sugars, help flush out my kidneys, send me on my way.

He then tells me he is contacting nephrologist(Kidney/Renal Specialist) in Victoria, who will then contact me. Thats almost a 3 hour drive. Oh well, whatever.  It appears my proteinurea is significant, in as much so that Doc told me it looks like stage three chronic kidney disease, caused by the D, which was caused by the Seroquel, which also causes weight gain... I don't know why she swallowed the fly, perhaps she'll die?
