Neckline again just for 4 weeks

Post by Daisy4246 »

Hi all
I just wanted to say that we are all on a journey and sometimes it is so frustrating and difficult. I had a fistula 2.5 weeks ago. My neckline in Dec starting playing up after 2 months. Last 2 weeks I hardly had any quality dialysis with constant beeping and low blood pump. I only needed 4 weeks then my fistula would be ready, but today l had the old neckline taken out and new one put in.
2 days ago did the 6 hour infusion plus 3.5 hours dialysis and no joy. I've had 4 Touralocks. Had sedation but due to mental state wasn't completely asleep today.
Anyway really fed, up. They say life on Dialysis is hard but l would find it easy of it just worked!
Sorry, a moan to those who get it!

HI,

If it makes you feel better, have a good moan, it's good to get it out.

Best wishes.

Daisy, have been away from the site for a long time, say 2 years. Been through EVERYTHING you are experiencing. My only message to you is, hang in there, don't get frustrated, take it all in your stride, makes it all so much easier and in fact better, eventually you will get a transplant like I did and life changes for the better. Had PD, Heamo, neckline twice, kidney removed, to make room for a new one and finally a transplant.
After a long time of waiting an anonymous donor has arrived in my life.
Words cannot express my gratitude to this lady and my paired exchange wife donor making it all possible
transplant 19th June 2015...Going very well mind you 2 years later

Thank you so much for your comments. It's good to hear from people who have been through the same thing. I will definitely think about trying to take it in my stride. That makes alot of sense. I'm normally quite positive but just got fed up this time. However you are the end result so l will keep that mind.
Glad you it all worked out well for you and best wishes.
