About 4 months ago now i was diagnosed with kidney failure, and in that time I have gone from being very normal 20 year old to feeling like a 90 year old, spent around 20 days in hospital longest time being 11 days,  here are some of the things that have happened/changed:

• Had 2 kidney biopsy’s – they found that 11 of the 20 cells they collected where scar tissue.
• 5 pints of blood put in (2 hours for a pint)
• Taking 15 tablets a day to keep my blood clean, always having 4 tablets before food.
• Having injections every other day (EPO)
• Not being able to eat what i want when i want.
• Being off work alot and not having any energy.

I’m sure theres alot more but right now thats all i can think off.

from 2 weeks ago i have had a neck line put in, basically its my life line!  Its a tube inserted into a main vein in my neck with two tubes sticking out so i can be hooked to a dialysis machine (20 year old on dialysis great huh!) I’m sure there will be many posts about my dialysis experience, my next dialysis is tonight. 6-10pm

that should be enough for you to catch up about my condition!

“just think it could be worse”!
