I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Oh @Shaz51,
Thats no good, no wonder you have been feeling tired. I'm glad your kidney has stabilised but that still seems to be very low. I am not a doctor but I think being borderline diabetes means you have a chance to correct with diet a bit. Iron can be tough to lift a bit. I'm so sorry your health is making it hard for you. Thinking of you 💜🤗💐💐💐

@Shaz51 My weekend is really about just getting through the best way I can. I usually have better plans than this but such is life. I think my goal will be to shower tomorrow.
