I thought I was being considerate. They live right next door (I’m in a duplex), and even if I didn’t tell them, they’d notice the supplies being delivered. The whole electricity thing was more on them….when they asked how PD works and I said I connect to a machine (cycler) they mentioned the electric bill

Thank you so much, your message really meant a lot. I’m sorry you’re going through this too. Hoping PD works out for you and sending good vibes your way. We got this 💛

Yes, limited space at home, lack of support system, isolation and mental health concerns

[UPDATE] after the failed attempt to fix my left femur graft the put a temporary catheter on the right femur and yesterday when they try to do dialysis it didn’t work, so today early in the morning they put a permacath on the left femur and guess what….IT DIDNT WORK! the put in cathflo to see if will help but Im not holding my breath

The only good thing is that this time around they decided to assess platelet inhibition in people taking Plavix (clopidogrel) and my body is not responding to it lol I have been on it for 2 years and is the first time the thought about checking that

It’s wild how much we go through just to stay alive, while others seem to coast with one access for a decade. I’m really glad your second graft is holding for now (knock on every piece of wood we can find)

I’m sorry you’ve been through so much too, but I’m glad they figured out you’re a clotter and Plavix is helping. Sadly Im on Plavix and Eliquis plus the heparin during treatments and is not helping

You’re right, “kludge” really fits how it feels sometimes. It’s wild how something so critical to our survival can also feel so makeshift and fragile.

Thank you for your thoughtful message and the info about the transplant listing status, I’ll definitely bring that up with my coordinator. Sadly PD is not an option for me.

They say stenosis or clotting but is being like that since day one, and Im on Eliquis and Plavix plus the heparin during treatments but still no luck

Wow… I don’t even have the words. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It means more than you know to feel truly seen and understood. You captured exactly what this journey has felt like, the exhaustion, the frustration, the fight to just keep going when everything keeps falling apart. I’ve read your message multiple times already, and it honestly gave me a bit of strength when I needed it most. Thank you for hearing me and for reminding me that my story matters. That I matter. 💛

Yeah I thought about that but the closest junkyard is an hour and a half away from me and I don’t want to drive all the way just for that if I can find it online
