8 of the past 9 dialysis treatments have ended in excruciating pain and hypertension (and two ER visits). I got word that Inova Fairfax Hospital has accepted my sister's kidney as matching and transplantable and the surgery is set for April 20th. That means I have 4 barbaric dialysis treatments left.
Zinger, you can rest easy, Adrienne isn't going to steal your kidney and leave you in a tub filled with ice.
And here's a little bit of Star Trek to cause I'm feeling good now. Don't miss the little old lady a little over 4 minutes into the clip.
I've gone through kidney failure twice. The first time in 2000, my mother donated a kidney; and again in 2008, I'm on dialysis waiting for a breakthrough in immuno-suppression medicines before seeking a new kidney.
