Well put me in the group that thought you were in your 60's. Not necessarily your posting style, although it is borderline, but someone your age shouldn't be having these types of medical issues! Damn, hope they can do something.

I've had CKD, so they were damaged and weakened, but still functional. Double pneumonia last year knocked them out for good. Plan was to put me on dialysis for a month and let them rest and recover, but they didn't. So I was on hemodialysis for a few months, then switched to peritoneal dialysis in July. Been doing that for 10 hours a night since. |

I do peritoneal, so every night. 10 hours.
If I did hemo, it would be 4 hours, three times a week. But hemo sucks ass, big time. Travel is much more difficult (and I still work, and travel for my job), but the physical effects are worse. I'd do a round of hemo and would feel exhausted for 24 hours, was usually kind of achy from it. And dietary restrictions are tougher. |

UAB called this morning and said they need some more testing done, which is really what I expected. They need a cardiologist and endocrinologist consult and possibly a couple procedures before they can proceed, but “nothing showstopping, nothing that can’t be fixed” that would prevent a transplant.
So that’s that. I guess I’m not done with testing. Folks, I do not recommend renal failure. 0 stars. |
