One Day at a time here

One Day at a time here

  • 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

Thank you for updating us, lovely. @Shaz51

I am relieved to hear that your kidney disease has decreased a little bit.

It must be tough hearing you have to wait another 6 months... how is this sitting with you? 💛

Re: One Day at a time here

Aww @Shaz51 just saw your post update - sorry I'm a few days late. I got too many backlog and now i miss ones! Oops!

Sitting with you in the news.

6 months... i can imagine that feels a long time away sometimes. But i hope it goes quicker than it sounds.

Is that when you can start fistula prep? Or can you start that now in order to be ready in 6 months time for dialysis?

I'll be here with you in the upcoming 6 months. You're not alone. Sending hugs. Wish there was more i could do.

Thanks @AlwaysMyself , @AuntGlow , @DownMoreThanUp , @Rosepetal96 , @tyme , @Dimity 😊

6 months will be another check up @AlwaysMyself no fistula plans yet unless something happens before that

@AuntGlow I am glad that it is kind of stable

Our because of the complications, I have scans and xrays to do

Waiting game is hard and kind of controlling your life

I'm such a proactive planner @Shaz51 , that not being able to do anything for the next 6 months and "just waiting for further decline" would be sooo hard !!

Oh, i dont think i've mentioned to you (but you may have read 😊, but in case not). I know we've mentioned before briefly about autism traits - myself and your hubby.

Saw a MH-specific GP this week. She asked if i might have autism - strongly suspects. First time a doctor/psych has ever broached this idea to me. Of course many friends have suggested this to me 😅.

Hey @Shaz51, apologies it’s taken me awhile to get on, Thank-you for the update. How are things with your kidney buddy?

So a check up in 6 months now? For kidney function and plan? I hear this is challenging and hard to tackle something that will just get worse and nothing you can really do to fix it is definitely hard and difficult to sit with. Thinking of you my friend and very grateful for your update.

by the way how are the passion fruits going hehe 😁
