One Day at a time here

One Day at a time here

hello everyone 😎

Was not sure where to write this

so, I have started a new thread

thank you @Oaktree , @Ru-bee for thinking of me today 😍

my results from the doctor was not really good

  • my Kidney function have decreased to 17%
  • my Liver and diabetes levels are up
  • I have Osteoporosis which i will need medication as my bone density has decreased because of the kidney disease
  • they believe that the Liver function is up because of the kidney disease
  • Kidney disease affects every part of your body
  • scan also shows the tinny of my kidney

Hello @Shaz51.I'm really sorry to hear that your results aren't particularly good. But I hope that it's at least a way to move forward and you can get the right treatment so things are more manageable.

Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

Re: One Day at a time here

Big hugs @Shaz51 that's a lot to take in.

Hope the new hearing aid is good news and it's more reliable.

Fingers crossed they can treat the diabetes and osteoporosis. It sounds like a waiting game re dialysis - just watching the numbers on your kidney. How are you in yourself - hope you're not in too much pain from arthritis etc.

Has the weather eased or still too wet?

My osteopath said to try some online yoga. She's given me some stretches to try too.

Wishing you and mr shaz the best, it sounds very hard but please know we care.

That's not ideal @Shaz51 and I'm sorry the news wasn't more positive. But it's not all bad. Kidney function hasn't deteriorated and you have a new hearing aide 👍. Time to focus on the positives I suppose, as you work on improving the more negative aspects. 💕

Hey @Shaz51 it sounds like that would be an overwhelming amount of info to get at once.

I'm sorry that it's not better news. We're all here for you though, every step.

And new hearing aids sounds like it could be good?

Re: One Day at a time here

Sorry to hear this @Shaz51

  • Are you saying your kidney function is currently stable (although low)?
  • Do you know cause of kidney failure? Is it diabetes?
  • Increased control of diabetes will help with kidney function either way (moreso if cause is diabetes)
  • Is there a reason you are not on anything for osteoporosis (or is that due to kidney clearance being low)?
  • Is the dialysis place far from you?

To hear the news about heart valve would be so disheartening.

On the upside, hearing aid would be good for kids, can turn off if Mr Shaz is annoying 🤣

We are here for you if you just want to vent or whatever, that’s a lot of stuff to take on in one go. You must be reeling you poor thing - I’ve order Hugs to You to drop off some hugs for you

Re: One Day at a time here

thanks @MissGremlin , @Dimity , @Emelia8 , @Ru-bee , @Till23 😍

I had a kidney infection years ago which affected my kidney function and has declined bit by bit over the years which it now stands at 17%

with osteoporosis and kidney disease you have to be careful on what kind of treatment, so it won't affect the kidney

  • Is the dialysis place far from you? ----- closest one is 30 minutes away

On the upside, hearing aid would be good for kids, can turn off if Mr Shaz is annoying 😂😂--- I love it and also they put a micro phone in my left deaf ear so the sounds go around to my right ear , wow

thank you for the hugs and sending some to you too ❤️

Sorry about all your results @Shaz51

Must be a lot of information for you in a short amount of time.

Hope you have been able to give yourself some self care this afternoon.
