We are now busier than ever. We are going thru the hoops to get Eldest on the transplant list. What I thought was exhaustion, was simply tired. Now we are exhausted, so much so last evening Eldest fell asleep mid eating. Poor guy, but we've only begun. Meanwhile dialysis continues, but we've tripled our Dr appts, added another fistulas surgery, to be followed up with 4 different conclusion appt meetings. Add travel to the mix. Sometime in Feb, we go 2 hrs away for the surgery. Mid March or April back to the same area for 2 appts. This is ok because my sister lives in the area, so we are fine to stay with her. IF, only IF we get on the transplant list we plan on living with my sister for 4-6 weeks after the surgery, because of the amount of follow up appts. Hubby is toying around the idea of being a live doner. So he will have additional appts to attend to see if his kidney is viable. I can't be a doner due to RA.
I can only remind people to eat properly, drink tons of water, and walk daily. Just a simple 15 minute walk will help your body tremendously.
I need to follow my own advice on the walking bit. Good news, thru all this crud is my RA is cooperating; fingers crossed.
Oh, and recently Po-boi has decided to move back to KY. We are going to miss him, but he needs to live his life. When business opportunities come your way, you need to jump on that train. Plus, I love visiting him in KY so it's a win win as far as I'm concerned!
'Wishing' for a break. I really need a beach day. Fingers crossed.
Saying a prayer; that would be great if Eldest got on the transplant list and if your hubby could be the donor. Seems like you got a good plan for it, if it happens, and I think Eldest could be a great candidate for a transplant. Great advice given too on taking care of our bodies; we take them for granted until they start failing on us. Give yourself a beach day; schedule one in your busy schedule and then make sure you definitely keep that appointment! So true about Poi-Boy; they got to live their lives, no matter where it takes them, but Kentucky is relatively close and a good excuse to visit :)
