Kidney Patient Guide

I was honest and told my partner on about the third date. We are now about to move in together. Before we met I dated a few people who i didn't tell. The relationships dint last but I stayed friends with one and when she found out she wanted to know why I hadn't told her. As with my current partner ...

I was on the list 4.5 years and dialysis for 5 before I got the call. I occasionally got the the call will never come feeling. It happens to everyone it is impossible to stay cheerful 24-7 365 days a year.

Strange one Jim I never got more than two boxes at a time from them. Due to the expense I was told.

I would certainly bring it up at the hospital. I wouldn't go as far as a full complaint.

I didn't but was told swimming was fine by my unit. I was given the colostomy look bag to put the line in and seal around my exit site. I was told to clean the site when I got out the pool anyway.

When I was on PD for the last few months before transplant I wasn't dialysing as well as I should doc's were putting it down to the Peritoneum scaring. Never had pockets of fluid though

Tom

Don't know. All I can suggest is think of the least sexy thing you can. lol

Yes. I went and tried snowboarding about 8 months after transplant. the next few days if i bent at all i got cramp along my transplant scar area. Just assumed muscles weren't as strong as they were.

Well I was on my way to teco on a satarday night when my mobile went off. I ignored it. It went off as I got to the shop I never anwered in time but called the number back. It was a mobile number. Got no answer two mins later same number comes up again. My transplant surgeon telling me to come in. 5...

Well I got my kidney but no princess just lots of clinic appointments lol

Tom

Cant say for certain if it will be a one off. I was called to go to a hospital immedialty because a blood test shoud my creatine was 1200 I was put on dialysis the next day stayed on till I got a transplant. As much as I hate to say it on this occasion waiting and seeing how things go with the dialy...

Blood in bags can also be casused by over doing things. Lifting heavy objects etc. Take care with that just as an aside to the peritonitis awareness.
