Last 4 months have been very hard, was put on dialysis at the begining of june an still on it.  Im still on tablets and will be for the rest of my life.  I have to tubes in my chest take a look .I have tried to keep my life as normal as possible.  Im still working I still take part in practices for hockey (and sad to say im still alot fitter then most of them).

The worst thing about it all is people think you fine, as they dont see what your going through, waking up and seeing tubes sticking out your chest and the whole fact that the only reason your alive is thanks to a machine!  It sucks to think if i miss a week of dialysis i die.  People expect me to be in pain, which im not, but i have other side effects like tiredness due to my anemia, dehydrated due to 500ml of fluid intake per day etc,

There only a handful of people that seem to understand that,  few people from work- they think im fine, and make jokes saying kidney boy, take a lemsip etc etc.  Does make you think why bother, I could sit at home and claim benefits like the rest of the people on dialysis, and screw alot of people over.  but i dont want to, i want to live my life the normal way possible.
