One Day at a time here

One Day at a time here

hello everyone 😎

Was not sure where to write this

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

Re: One Day at a time here

I’m not surprised you were emotional yesterday @Shaz51 such a lot to take in and process. A normal reaction to an abnormal situation.

Such resilience and positive attitude to be mowing lawns and putting one foot in front of the other (as I say) or doing it one day at a time

That is a lot to take in @Shaz51 , and as usual you are being really chipper about it all. Sending big hugs. It’s good that you’re staying busy. It’s good to distract and give yourself time to gently process what is happening. Wishing you all the best for your heart assessments. Keep your chin up. You’re being so brave ❣️

Re: One Day at a time here

@Shaz51 I'm so sorry Shazzy my sister that the results don't sound great. I do hope the dr can provide steps on how to manage all this. It is a lot to take in! How's the new hearing aid going?

Also there’s absolutely a treatment for osteoporosis. My mum has it and it is an injection you get every 6 months. It's called prolea. Please ask your dr about it. It makes a world of difference to my mum.

Also please be very careful of climbing on this or potential falls.

How's the weather there? Sydney is rainy and humid today. My daughter and I still went for a walk and it was lovely. Thinking of you Shazzy and sending you the biggest warmest hug I can give ❤️ 🫂

Hi @Shaz51

It’s overcast with passing showers here. Got my sport in this morning (just) and had breakfast with team afterwards so that was good. Have to do an annual test for my sport shortly. Then I can relax so I’ll be ready for table tennis on Monday!

Hope your Sunday is a good one

Re: One Day at a time here

@Shaz51 . Wow. That's a lot going wrong at once. Yes kidney failure affects other parts of the body.

Are you thinking about doing Dialysis?

In response to: Re: One Day at a time here

Re: One Day at a time here

Yes dialysis when the right time comes up @utopia xx

How are you going 😊

Thank you my sisters @Till23 , @Faith-and-Hope , @Healandlove
