Not sure what to do !!!

So sorry to hear @Former-Member

Thoughts are with you and Mr D xxx

Hi @Shaz51

I am sorry you are having so much pain and having signs of diabetes and diabetic arthritis in your legs - this is not good

Actually - I didn't know that diabetes caused arthritis - I know how painful arthritis is and it does continue - I hope you can travel in the front seat in cars - this is better than trying to scramble in and out of the back seat when there is just not enough room

I am pretty sure you don't get much in the way of pain-killers for the arthritis pain - I know OTC stuff like antiinfamtories can help but the Poor Little Kidney might now be able to cope with that -

So tough that - how are things going for your kidney transplant. I keep thinking about that

Dec

over time uncontrolled diabetes can affect the muscles an skeleton leading to joint pain , nerve damage and other symptons my @Owlunar

but also Kidney disease can also cause lots of problems like muscles , and joint problems

antiinfamtories , i can not take , so trying other ways

but can take osteo paracetamol but not too many

got a specilist appt in march

Hi @Shaz51

Life can deal a rough hand at times - I know you are already on a limited diet and there are medications you can't use because of kidney problems - would there was something that could be done

I don't always get around to reading all the posts so I have no idea how your kidney transplant is going - and it seems so hard that all of this has gone on so long - you are a real Aussie battler and I really wish you could get a break -

Are you living with your Mum atm or is she in hospital - I remember she fractured her leg - at least I thought I read that - which would be hard for her to managed at home certainly - but I also think I read that she was at home - so I am not sure.

You do a great job caring for your Mum and Mr Shaz - I would be so kind if you could get a little care yourself

I do wish you the best Shaz - and I do know about osteo-arthritis - I have a lot of it - most from injuries I think - I inherited the tendency to develop arthritis from my grandmother who had it. I have it in my hands and feet as well as my damaged joints and spine. I know how testing it can be and I really feel for you

Hello my @Owlunar ❤❤☕☕

Took mum up to the hospital for a redressing of her wounds

Got back home and I fell asleep, soo tired

Yes you can only have a kidney transplant when you reach a certain level , soo I will have to keep on keeping on until I get to that level --- which means I have to get a lot worse before that happens

Mum has not been the same since she broke her hip and with ongoing bowel obstructions and now I think she is getting dementia

I am now mum's carer And we are living at mum's 10 weeks now since our house fire

@Former-Member

How is Mr D and your mum today 🥰❤❤

@Shaz51 , no news on Mum as person Sis needed to speak to in nursing home was busy with meetings, we should know tomorrow if Mum will be staying on for full time care.

Mr D discharged today, is miserable ☹️.

@Shaz51 Sis got a call, Mum's present status is 2 more weeks respite and she should hear from admissions office tomorrow as to whether or not she is accepted for permanent care tomorrow.

Hugs @Former-Member ❤🥰☕

Home for a late lunch and

1) mum has moved some furniture and stuff around

2) Mr shaz telling me he is having lots of anxiety today

🙁🙁🙁

Is the new furniture arrangement acceptable @Shaz51 ?

Is Mr Shaz able to do anything to help alleviate anxiety?

Have you had any success with getting a 2nd demolition quote?
