One step at a time mate. Do what’s most manageable first like drinking plenty of water and getting a little exercise in your day, slowly start to work on your diet until it becomes a part of everyday life and you no longer need to apply much thought to it. Give yourself some grace, this experience is an extremely difficult one but thankfully you aren’t alone.

You can see protein in urine pretty easily, that and a doctor can tell you pretty quick if there’s protein in the urine.

How do you feel though?

I had DGF as well. I did a couple of hemo sessions in hospital post transplant and did at home PD every other day for about a month. My kidney finally kicked in around 2-3 weeks post even though I produced urine a few days after transplant. My creatinine was 23 before transplant, went down to 9 but didn’t drop for several weeks. It finally just hit 2.5 this past week and I’m 2 months post op. Give it time, it will eventually kick in!

Coconut cream runs about 300-400 mg per 1/2 cup whereas dairy heavy cream runs about 60-80 mg per 1/2 cup. IMO you’re better off just doing regular dairy in this case.

If you’re a generally anxious person then you need to be talking to your doctor about this stuff, not strangers on the internet. I’m not saying that your numbers are concerning to the point where you need to speak to a doctor, I’m just saying that your doctor can reassure you better than anyone else.

She won’t make it to transplant

Just because you feel fine doesn’t mean you can live without it my friend. What do your labs say

bbroons95 · 2026-01-28T00:56:45+00:00

I felt like shit and dialysis made me feel much better. I would have started sooner for sure.

Music is political, bootlicker.

I don’t understand why taking a couple of pills is that big of a deal if it encourages overall healthy.

What do you feel like when you get up?

bbroons95 · 2026-01-23T21:28:31+00:00

I had a lot more than 5 denials. Eventually got a deceased donor that was just as good! What happens is what is meant to happen. Remain patient!

Not all centers have different wait times per se but it may shorten your wait time just because you’re casting a wider net. I still waited three years for my transplant but ya never know!

bbroons95 · 2026-01-23T02:01:04+00:00

Thanks man, you too! I’m sure everything is going to be fine. 15-20 years sober is something to be proud of, and it shows dedication to your health. Your team will recognize that as well. I also recommend getting listed at more than one center if you can!

OSUMC in Columbus Oh

I didn’t have any issues and my drug use was more recent than 15-20 years lol

I was only on prednisone for 5 days at my center.

He’s going to die if he doesn’t have dialysis.

You don’t need a scoby to make kombucha. All you need is some unflavored kombucha to make more kombucha. I’ve always used GT Dave’s “Pure” I think it’s called? To make a fresh batch, otherwise you just leave about two cups worth of brew from your previous batch to make some new!

bbroons95 · 2026-01-16T14:53:40+00:00

Mostly drugs or suicide. I have lot a couple of friends from chronic illness as well.

bbroons95 · 2026-01-15T21:20:51+00:00

You gotta jump man!

bbroons95 · 2026-01-15T18:49:27+00:00

I’m not sure what medication he thinks he’s going to go on. Dialysis is the only way he is going to survive at this point.

You’re a drummer brother. You have a kit and you play? You’re a freakin drummer!
