Last advice,When it comes to kidneys,bladders,etc. you really need to worry IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING URINE!!Keep hittin' the fluids cause the vicodin will dehydrate you a lot.

Its a mad house at shift change. I go in at 11:00 and get out around 4ish I think the state law is one tech per four chairs here, maybe five, but I think four |

I dunno yet
I'm gonna start treatment for hep C soon and see how that goes. if it'll knock it down enough then I can be a candidate, if not I guess not haha |

Seriously,i feel that it is just exchanging one problem for another.Yes,i have more freedom but i also feel resposible for someone elses body part.The cost of the meds is ridiculous as well.I am super grateful for the transplant and the dialysis.These options to the sick are not available globally.

yeah that is the main thing that is intimidating about getting the trnsplant is knowing I'm gonna have to pay for all those drugs
and if I can't then I guess I lose it? |

Sorry you fellas are feeling bad. Sending you good vibes. Hope it makes you feel better.

If you are on medicare,they pay for the first three years,then you are on your own.Im in a high risk pool,my meds are cheap but my premium is brutal. |
