Did they say why your kidneys were enlarged? Are you taking lithium? Li supposedly can affect the kidneys but I've never heard how.
BTW, parsley tea is a great diuretic. A bunch simmered in a quart of water for 10 minutes strained and sweetened with honey.
> i just got out of the hospital for medical reasons, and it turned out my bladder was expanding like i balloon, and i was retaining tons of water. maybe that's an explanation for the weight gain. though i was made to eat a lot in the hospital, i came home and weighed sig. less than before. maybe i need to drink more water, too.
