My Dialysis Update Journal

For 30 years I celebrated my kidney transplant. Those days have been gone for 7 years now and I am fine with it. My kidney was beginning to stop finc properly in 2016 when my kidney doctor at that time requested to have a kidney biopsy done and finding my kidney was dying slowly because of disease. The kidney’s age was 72 years old at that time. When I learned that it had chronic kidney disease I was very disappointed at first for a few minutes to a couple of hours, but finding my kidney had lasted as long as it did, it lasted 3 more years after my kidney was diagnosed with kidney disease for the second time in my lifetime. My own kidneys were gone by 1987 because of chronic kidney disease and now my mom’s kidney in my body has been struck by chronic kidney disease. Now I am going through an evaluation of different tests to get on the kidney transplant list? It has been 37 years ago today that I had my first transplant. Hmm, I have something I am grateful for indeed and I am unsure of having a second transplant and be bombarded with numerous blood 🩸 tests and checks?! I am not so sure right now. The eval of tests are almost done. I just have my colon left to do and my teeth are being taken care of as the weeks move forward. I am bombarded with a lot right now. I will be okay.
