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

Re: One Day at a time here

Especially when I can't drive so Mr shaz would have to do all the driving @rav3n , @Dimity

Will have to have surgery on my belly to set it all up , spend some times in hospital to learn how to connect myself to the machine at night time when I am at home

And it is forever

Until I have a kidney transplant if one is available

Hey @Shaz51 👋🏼 my Shazzy. I had to Google the treatment. Confronting isn’t it?

If it can be used for 15 to 20 years, obviously people have found it doable.

Re: One Day at a time here

Oh @Shaz51 I'm sorry to hear that news

It's good that you can do peritoneal dialysis though, better than driving to and sit in a dialysis centre for hours

Do you know the time line for the set-up

Feel free to talk it out, vent etc myself I and I'm sure others are here listening, supporting
