@kevgib67 how was your Dr appointment?

Thanks for asking, not good unfortunately, I have a not so fun road ahead of me. Kidneys functioning at 21%. She is sending me to a vascular surgeon to do vein mapping to find a spot for a fistula and up to University Hospital in Cleveland to a transplant nephrologist.

I am so sorry @kevgib67. I'll keep you in my daily prayers. My neighbor Kerri has genetic kidney disease. It was passed from her mom. Her mom (Teresa) had a kidney transplant from a donor when she was in her 40's. Teresa died of natural causes at the age of 90. Teresa had 3 daughters: Kerri, Sinead and Patty. Kerri needed a kidney transplant 8 years ago and her donor was her sister Patty. 6 years ago Sinead need a kidney transplant and she got one from a donor. The 3 sisters are healthy and living normal lives.

Transplants are more than a come thing now. People are living a longer life because of modern medicine. My brother in law went for a run with his retired police dog. After the run, David didn't feel well. Instead of calling for help, he drives himself to the hospital. He was having a heart attack. The doctors thought they were doing a single by pass but when they got in there it was a quad. When they went to start up the heart, the heart wouldn't start up again...total heart failure. They installed a LVad. David had to wear this vest that had two battery packs that powered the flow of blood in and out of his heart. The LVad acted like a "sump pump" we use in our sumps. David was like a vampire...no heart beating. This happened back in 2018. With a LVad there are things you can't do. One is never get the tubes coming out of your chest and batteries wet. So no baths or showers. During the height of Covid June 2020, David had a donor heart. He bought a RV in 2021 and has been driving all over the US.

I was diagnosed with primary sclerosing choliangitis when I was 24 yo which doomed me to a liver transplant. I got my transplant in 2018. It was a a horrible 2 years on a transplant list.
