The Life and Times of a kidney Patient

Well this week has been quite uneventful, so there isn't much to say really. I had to go to the hospital for more antibiotics last Saturday and sat there for 2 hours before they did anything. When I got there they didn't know anything about me, even though it was all in my notes and my name was on the board.

I had to go back yesterday and again this saturday coming, oh the joy. We have put our house on the market and a couple are coming round to see the house tomorrow so I am stressing about that. It's on low key until we can declutter, but these people have been looking for ages. I spent today flapping around the house, and am panicking. I made myself sick from overdoing it.

My husband has been off work this week as his Colotis has got bad again, so I am worrying about him too as he's in a lot of pain. I've booked him in to see his GP tomorrow.

Other than that, not much has happened.

Well The silver nitrate seemed to reduce the size of the growth of skin on my line.  However, now the growth has become infected and the line i infected on the outside, inside my body.  Normally they would remove the line. but as this is me and its my last chance for home dialysis they are going to try and fight it.

So thats where I am at the moment.  I will update more as and when it happens.  I am staying positive for now and not going to worry about it until it happens........

Well I've decided to change the heading of my blog, oh the excitement. Nothing much has hapened this week. My lump has healed up OK after the docs took a knife to it. There is only a small scab and lump left.

The CAPD nurse came for a home visit yesterday and all is well, touch wood! she is coming back this afternoon as I have excess skin growing round the exit site of the tubefor hom dialysis and she is going to cortorise it this afternoon as they can be infection risks.......which I don't need.

As I am now on the transplant list, I am resting up and taking life easy so I am it for when the phone call comes. I saw my GP on Friday and she thought it would be best to sign me off for 3 more months to get my body up to its full health, well as healthy as it can be. This is because I haven't been well for over a year and she wants me to settle onto home dialysis and everything again before I put the added stresses of work back on it.

This is fine with me, but I feel like such a fake being off work as I feel OK at the moment and don't see myself as being ill....

Well thats it really, boring this week I'm afraid.......
