This title is absolutely my silliest by far. My kingdom is going to represent my body for the purpose of this post. I went to a follow up with the vascular surgeon last week. He said my fistula would be ready to use if needed in two weeks but that hopefully it would be more like 2 years until I need it. Very nice of him to say. I'm hoping he's right, but he might not be. Gave me a little sad feeling but always thankful medicine can help and do the things we need.
Still getting use to the pulse in my harm. I go to the nephrologist in a few weeks. It's a feeling of anxiety over going to see him. My labs get emailed to me before we meet because of the lab I use so I look at it. I don't always know what I'm looking at but I look for the creatine number. My heart does flip flops when I see that number. I know it will worsen. I don't know when to start letting people know publicly what I'm going through, but I think it can only help my chances of finding/getting a kidney. Silly as it sounds I've never been super public so it feels strange telling everyone what I'm going through. I've had a few people offer to give me a kidney but just directly to me and they haven't been the right blood type.
I have one more paper for the semester then I get 2 weeks off and I start again. For now I'm reigning over my kingdom and taking as good of care of myself as I can.
