Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Hello @tyme ❤️

Very busy today , I had a doctors appointment today

We got a phone call to say Mr shaz's surgery is going to be on Monday

Tomorrow we have a pre op appointment in the city

And then Mr shaz's MH rang to say the support person is coming to do a house visit in 2 weeks which has Mr shaz worried

Rang centrelink about the surgery

@Former-Member , @Jynx

Oh! So soon! You were supposed to wait weeks! Sounds so busy in the days ahead. Are you okay with the pace of everything @Shaz51 ?

Yes it was quick @tyme

It is a bit crazy cancelling , changing appointments,

Phoning and texting people but one step at a time here xxx

I am off to bed , goodnight, see you tomorrow 😊

Hey there @Shaz51 💜🌺

Thats a lot of organising to do before Monday, I hope things go well at the pre-op appointment 🌺

How are you doing? 🙂💜

I hope Mr Shaz’ MH team can give you some clarity around the upcoming home visit in 2 weeks, so he can feel less worried about it 🌺

pre-op appointment went ok @Former-Member

Mr. Shaz has been awake since 1-30am this morning overthinking.

wet morning in the city and back home

on phone with Centrelink

Mr. Shaz fixed the belt on the mower.

going up to visit mum now.

see you have a UNi appointment tonight

Hey there @Shaz51 🙂🌺

Glad and relieved the pre-op appointment went ok, hopefully all goes smoothly for the surgery on Monday - will be thinking of you guys 💜

Im sorry to hear Mr Shaz didn't get much sleep, and was distracted by lots of thoughts. I hope he can have a better evening, and relax a bit before getting some good sleep tonight 🙂

I hope the call with Centrelink goes well *fingers crossed*

And I hope the visit with your mum is enjoyable for you all 😍

Yes, unfortunately I won't make it to the discussion tonight, but Im hoping that once classes start in earnest I will have a bit more time due to less of the preparation classes - here's hoping! 😉

Take care dear Shaz 🙂💜

Hello @Former-Member , @tyme , @Jynx

Day went OK, all ready for Monday

Centrelink, just waiting now and they want to talk to Mr shaz's MHTeam

Relaxing here but will be in bed soon

Glad to hear the day went ok @Shaz51 🙂💜, and all is ready for Monday 🌺

I hope it goes smoothly when Mr Shaz’s team connects with Centrelink 🙂

Rest well tonight, and I hope Mr Shaz gets lots of zzz’s 🙂

Hello @tyme , @Jynx , @Dimity , @StuF , @Jacques , @Glisten , @Healandlove

Saw the kidney specialist yesterday

The kidney is stable

But now have to blood tests done for a few other things like gout and iron overload

And to see why my liver levels are up

Have to stop taking painkillers [edited by moderator] which is no good for kidney

What do I do for my osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis?

Thanks for updating us @Shaz51 . I'm glad your kidney is stable, that's good news.

I understand gout is very painful... on top of everything else. I wish I could say more than that I hope through testing you can get help, and that they're able to offer other ways of dealing with the pain. I'm so glad you're not still battling with work.

Did you have axworthwhile excursion to Bunnings?
