ICU stay
I then spent tee weeks on the renal ward having
dialysis
. I was discharged on 31st May 2022 however I still feel exhausted and my legs ache so much it’s hard to walk for long or far. I am so forgetful and get short of breath. I still have flashbacks which are really upsetting.

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 5
Ok, I do apologize for the delay in reporting all of this. I'll explain below. NOTE: The notes below portray MY experience based on my medical conditions. No one reading this should assume that you will have a similar experience. I've never heard anyone else say they had the issue with their back that

Has anyone else discovered Ground glass opacities in lung on abdominal ct for pre transplant evaluation? What was the outcome?
I don’t think I have 3 to 6 months being at GFR of 10 so now I am bracing myself for
dialysis
. Grateful at least it’s an option and hoping this new finding is nothing to worry about. Ugh!! thanks so much for your support.

Food when on PD Dialysis
I haven't really seen this but what all do you eat? I'm not yet there and at 17% I'm mostly eating plants. So if I was on PD can I eat what I like while sticking to healthy food but what about high potassium foods like potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupe, bananas and the like? Since I am taking meds for

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 4
So today (Thursday), it was solo flight day. The PD nurse had me go through the entire connection procedure (which I will document once I get it all typed up this weekend) myself. No major mistakes other than spilling some iodine from the Cap onto my pants (learned to put something over my pants when

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 3
For Day Three (Wednesday), this was practice, practice, practice day. My PD nurse first filled me with 1500ml of 1.5 ml of PD solution. NOTE: We decided to go back to 1.5 solution because the 2.5 solution from Day 2 caused me to wake up at 2:30 and again at 4:30 with leg cramps. Not fun. Seems that's

Queen of hearts
If they remove a kidney I will start
dialysis
. I'm truly not sure what this will mean for my need to have a transplant. I have an evaluation appointment at the end of the month. All of that is daunting but at least
dialysis
exists.

Being a supportive wife?
He’s currently on
Dialysis
3 days a week. We did PD
dialysis
for about 4 months had some bumps on the road. But we back on Hemo. My husband has a fear of dying and sometimes he can’t shake it. To the point he just kinda bottles it all up.
