Ohhhh Dear

@Shaz51

Yes you are strong and we all know that, but of course there are times you are overwhelmed. Hugs.

I am not sure how it proceeds whether it could be occasional at first. Best of luck with it all. Your family may need to make adjustments. So it is important there is discussion all round.

My dear @Shaz51 ... just caught up on all your news from the past 2 weeks since I was last here.

You honestly do so much for so many others in your life (including here) and at the same time dealing with so many of your own serious health issues. You are such a strong, resilient ... and downright wonderful ... lady. You are one of those people who just keep getting back up and doing what they need to do in order to keep going. I admire you so very much. How I wish life were easier for you ... if it could (just this one time) deal you a winning hand.

Its not the end of the world to be in a situation of needing to consider dialysis and/or going on the kidney transplant list. You knew this was coming, especially since you have been having all these kidney related issues the past few months. But knowing ... does not make it any easier to accept once the specialist says the words. It would have still come as a shock and accepting the inevitable will take some time to digest. I would give you my strength, if I had any to give. Sadly I dont. But I do have some very good personal experiences with people who have had kidney transplants. I had an auntie who was on dialysis for several years before finally getting a transplant. She did really well once she had the transplant and lived to quite a good age. That was probably 15 years ago now, and the process is constantly improving. So that has to bode well. I also knew a fellow that I worked with some 25 years ago, he was only in his 40's when he had a kidney transplant. The first transplant was rejected, but because of his relatively young age he was blessed with a second transplant. And that was highly successful. He is now close to 70yo and is still going strong. He lives life to the full and does not appear to have any restrictions. He is a friend of my husbands as well, so we get to see him from time to time.

I am concerned about you though Shaz, because clearly you are not well. And you have so many caring commitments on your plate with your Mum and your Mr Shaz. You honestly do need to start to slow down a little. If you dont, your body will take the matter out of your hands. Can you have another go at applying for a carers payment (for either Mr Shaz and/or your Mum) or a DSP for yourself?

Please please please Shaz ... take care. You are important to so many in your RL and also to so many of us here.

Sherry 💕
