Hey you. Big hugs (((()))) I wont tell you to pull yourself together but I might take you up on the offer of giving you a slap next time I see ya!! :oD
Seriously though, it's amazing how the different drugs, dialysis and even potasium levels can effect your moods, not to mention normal everyday moodyness (which I just know you're good at!) Your situation may not change right away but I'm sure your ability to handle it and deal with the c**p will soon be 'up' again. You're going through some pretty out of the ordinary' and traumatic stuff at the moment so the lows are to be expected. Things will get better and settle, honest.
Thanks for inviting me to ya blogg Sue, great idea. I'm off to the Hammersmith in a few hours cos they,ve called me in to check out that the new kidney isn't rejecting worse again or failing! All boring details on my CarePage. So I'll keep an eye on ya blogg when I'm out again.
Hang in there hun, hugs, Joolz xxxx

I won't slap your face, or tell you to pull yourself together ( there's a joke in there somewhere, regarding curtains) You are on the Rollercoaster ride, it's on the way down today, but it will reach the top again, just get through it, like you know that you will. Things happen, that are outwith our control, and we can all get down about it, but you gotta pick yourself up, because you know it's the right thing to do. Good luck with everything, best wishes Gordon..

Hi,
I can really imagine what you must be going through, as my wife is also having a CKD. She has undergone a fistula & is facing problems.
I wouls really look forward to get some information from you.

Hi,

Well done on the blog, it is good to find other people with renal failure to exchange information etc. I am pre-dialysis at the moment. I am 38 living in South Yorkshire and attending Sheffield Northern General Renal Unit. I also have type 1 diabetes and a heart condition that is under investigation with a cardiology specialist also at Sheffield Northern General Hospital. I will be checking in regularly to read your blog and can I say thanks for the work you have done.

Take care
Dave

Just realised that last line makes it look like I'm a doctor or something - I'm not, I just know about dialysis etc. from the telly and stuff!

Wow! What a crazy couple of years you've had.

Hope blogging about it helps you deal with it (although you sound like you're dealing with it pretty well anyway). It was interesting to read about this stuff from a patient's point of view.
