.....Hope you guys have a good weekend. Especially if you guys are off tomorrow for MLK Day.

Screw MLK day!

Given the chance I'd kick James Earl Ray in the nuts for making MLK a martyr.

I celebrate VJ day.

Why do you even need brakes? Are you some sort of pansy or something?

I'd like to give you just a couple more suggestions if I may

1. Take someone with you if you haven't been. It's not as good as a second opinion but sometimes having someone else hear what you hear directly can give you some additional perspective.
2. Take a notebook with questions and write down the answers so you don't forget. Like everyone here doctors talk a different language too and they often don't realize they say things that are not part of common language.


Just some obvious things, you don't realize how important your health is until you feel bad and day after day that can have a completely different effect on a person. It can make you stronger and more in control of your body by being more aware and doing what you can do for yourself or it can wear you down if you let it. The choice is yours!

I feel your frustration and just wanted to share a couple of thoughts.

Take care!

Thanks, Anne. I'll try and see if I can drag someone from work along with me next time I go to the doctor. And I'll write down whatever questions I have when I think of some. But the doctors have been doing a good job of putting things in terms that I can understand.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how much of a spoiled prick I am.

But seriously, it's cool stuff.

It has nothing to do with you. I'm waiting for VanLandingham to raise his ugly head. I'm bored.

I'm bored too. Me and you could have a flame war or something.

I start dialysis 3 nights a week next month and I need a kidney transplant.

Yay.

If not, I die in about two years. According to my doctor. Still trying to get more opinions.

But that sort of put me in a "I don't give a fuck about literally anything" mood.

Me and my 3/4 of a kidney are gonna....sit around and not do shit.


Have a good Monday, everyone.

..................Well, shit. I don't think Hallmark has a card for that. Did they just call you up this morning and drop that bomb on you?

Eh.

And yeah, Dr. Sporleder called me and dropped that shit on me. At like 7 AM.

"Good morning, Tyler. You're dying."

Great.

Jeepers, that ain't such good news.
I was looking through this thread last night and going to add that many people live well with one kidney, either being born that way or after having one removed for whatever reasons.
Your condition now sounds more problematic though.
I have no idea how the health service you guys get over the pond works, but over here in the UK I understand it is quite common for a family member to donate a good kidney for transplant to a relation in need.
It might be worth investigating options regarding this. In the meantime look after yourself and look into diet and lifetsyle choices that may help reduce the load on your working kidney.
My thoughts are with you.

Disappointingly not yet a Jackass

Wow..not what I was expecting. So sorry to hear that. However you're young and the chances of you getting a kidney are much better than an old fart like me. Its an easier surgery these days if you find a donor. Don't let the news define your life. Chin up and stay positive.

Many years ago a close friend of my moms was given 6 months to live (cancer), treatments in those days were pretty sketchy. She moved from Cali to Washington in her 40s. She had been in show business since a kid. Went back and got her hi-school diploma. Went to nursing school. Got married. Went thru the nursing ranks to be floor supervisor at the hospital. Buried her husband. Retired from the hospital and took over a high end nursing home. Cancer finally took her as an old woman who had made a great life for herself and helped hundreds if not thousands of people over the years.

Life isn't the hand you're dealt, it's how you play it.

Wow - yeah... just -- wow.

Well, I'll tell ya, my dad has been on dialysis for a while now - he says it's not as bad as he thought it would be; according to him, the dietary restrictions and the most annoying. Apparently, there are some "in-home" options too, now, for some patients - where you can do it yourself, at home, in some instances.

Definitely see someone else if you can. I mean, if your kidneys are shot, that's that, but - at least if there's hope for 3/4 of one to be good, you need to jump on that if you can, if there's something that can be done. Fuck, man. -- Don't give up though- because I need another Xratty guy in MO to bullshit with at rallies

Okay, so your dying. Now what? We all are. With my heart I could be dead 20 years from now, or while I'm typing this.

I had my first heart surgery in 2000; and several since.

I just saw a few minutes of Oprah's lawn jockey Obama being inaugurated again. Death would be relief from watching that guy turn the United States of America into the Union of United Communist States.

Easy solution for your problem Jens, since your life is so miserable.
Poison yourself. wash it down with Drano..
The world will be a more pleasant place without your constant total negativity. You'd do it if you had any balls.
