You know, I seem to be here whenever I get hurt :(

Holy crud Melody! I'm glad to hear you're still alive -- this must have been terrifying for you and your husband. Will you be eligible for a kidney transplant?

Snap, a friend of ours that was here tells me that my husband looked liked he got hit by a truck. He was very frightened.

At this point, I don't know what my eligibility is for getting a transplant. Finding one, however, is difficult and they only perform them if the kidney is absolutely perfect. Any problems with the kidney and they won't do the transplant. :/ So even though my mother and sister Mary are willing, if they have any problems with their kidneys (my mother is diabetic and Mary has high blood pressure) their kidneys may not be eligible.

Gasp! An admitted doper in our mix?

I know *hangs head in shame*

Seriously, I am so sorry to hear about the blows you have been dealt. How long can they keep you on dailysis? I admittedly do not know much about the technology they have for it but I am aware a lot of people are on it for years.

If my kidney function is as bad as it is (it was down to 25% before all of this. We're *hoping* for 5%) I will be on dialysis for the rest of my life unfortunately.
