Kidney Patient Guide

Sounds quite reassuring. Someone else I know had a similar chance finding (a scan after an awkward caesarian in her case) and treatment plan. It's too soon to say she's cured but she's had no problems since.

I've seen these. A word of warning that the second programme is more difficult to watch than the first. But it really brought the message home about the shortage of organs. They were given a disappointingly low profile here in England, shown quite late. Perhaps they thought we wouldn't cope with the...

I don't know how many times I've done that... I mean I really don't know. Sometimes I forget whether or not I've taken my meds, then spend ages trying to remember, looking for evidence in the bin etc. Then the debate of whether it's better to take them twice or not at all. :oops: I use a meds pot th...

Sorry to hear this Dixie. You must both be reeling at this sudden unexpected turn. X

Thanks

Steve, I'm glad you started this thread as I was completely unaware of the illness and the current situation in Nottingham.

Great news, Ste! Keep us posted.

I've been vegan for short periods of time. I don't see why it would cause a problem, if you make sure you get all the nutrients.
