Every time someone sees me since my transplant, they always ask me how I am feeling now. I guess its a valid question. Everyone says I look so different so it makes sense that they would want to know if  I feel any different. There are good things that have changed and there are some… Continue reading So what has changed?

Fitness + The Transplant Games

January 15, 2018January 15, 2018 The Girl With Kidney FailureLeave a comment

Ah, the transplant games. I remember when I was diagnosed initially and I was doing my work-up for the transplant list, my transplant co-ordinator mentioned the transplant games. I didn’t think much of it then. I had just been diagnosed and all I knew is that I wanted a new kidney. Lets go back in… Continue reading Fitness + The Transplant Games

General Isolation- Post Transplant Part 2 + going home

January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 The Girl With Kidney Failure4 Comments

In my last post transplant blog post (here) I was on Day 5 of my recovery and I was peeing on myself.

My days literally consisted of me getting up… Continue reading General Isolation- Post Transplant Part 2 + going home

Peritoneal Dialysis Operation

About 10 days ago, I went for my peritoneal catheter placement. The word catheter sounds scary, I know. I have watched enough Greys Anatomy to know that they use a catheter when you can’t urinate.  LUCKILY this is not the case with the peritoneal dialysis. Your catheter is placed in your stomach. I am not… Continue reading Peritoneal Dialysis Operation
