Robin,

Welcome to the group. I am sorry to hear about your sister. I studied

about polycitistic kidneys while in school. Feel free to write and shate

anytime. This is a great group! Kellie

getting to know you

I am Robin. I am a new member and I am in West Virginia. I was raised

in the Baptist faith but my faith of choice was Catholic, which I

converted to several years ago. At this point I don't really practice

any religion although I would like to again.

When I was 17, my oldest sister was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney

Disease. She was only 28. Since this disease is hereditary, I was also

tested for it and told I had it, but that it would probably be many

years before I had to worry about it. My sister could not be treated

with dialysis and she died at age 35.

Two years ago (at age 41) my disease became active. Everything in my

life turned upside down. I had to give up my job and many other of the

things I enjoyed in my life. I do dialysis 9 hours a day (but I do it

at home so that's OK). Some days I feel fine and other days I feel

lousy. I go the hospital once a month for blood tests and I give myself

injections once a week. I have up days and down days, which I guess is

to be expected.

Everyone in my family is gone except for one foster sister whom I live

with and she helps take care of me when I can't care for myself. She

and my dog, Nigel, are all I have in this world and I love them both

dearly.

I do the best I can but sometimes I feel alone and lost and confused and

that's what I wanted you guys for! :-)

Robin

Hello Robin

Welcome to our group, I am sure you will like it here, lots of caring people

to share everything with.

WOW that must be so hard 9 hours dialysis a day, I think the only way I

could handle that is if I could sit in he Internet at the same time. Can you

do anything while it is happening? Don't mean to ask stupid questions!

I bet that was hard losing your sister and then knowing you had the same

thing

How are you coping? Sounds like you share our common gripe of family/friends

running a mile when you really need them!!

What type of doggie is Nigel? Do you get on well with your foster sister?

You have found the best place here for helping you feel not so alone, please

share and talk away. I am a carer for my hubby and as Aisha says I am the

one who makes everyone vent their anger, I am also the chocy addict who

can't find the chat room unless I have scoffed some chocy!!

Just wanted to say hello and welcome

Lots of love

Thanks for all the welcomes...you seem like a wonderful group.

>>WOW that must be so hard 9 hours dialysis a day, I think the only way

Can you do anything while it is happening?>>

It's not so bad. I'm used to it really. I am in my room with my

computer and my TV and music etc. Yes, I can do anything I want as long

as I don't get more than six feet away from the machine! Kind of like

being on a leash! LOL!

>> Don't mean to ask stupid questions!>>

Ask any questions you want....I'm fine with it.

:-)

>> I bet that was hard losing your sister and then knowing you had the

same thing

How are you coping?>>

Very well, actully. My disease is very different from my sister's. She

had a lot of other physical problems and I don't. Her form of the

disease was rare and mine is more norm. I worried a lot when they told

me I had it but her disease and mine are different so I am really OK.

>> Sounds like you share our common gripe of family/friends running a

mile when you really need them!! >>

That's not the case. :-) My family is all deceased.

>>What type of doggie is Nigel?>>

He is Border Collie and Fiest mix. He was adopted from a shelter. He

takes care of me and keep me company.

>> Do you get on well with your foster sister?>>

Yes, she is my best friend.

>> You have found the best place here for helping you feel not so alone,

getting to know you!

Dear Kleeko,

Welcome to the group. There's somebody in the group who is in the same boat

as at least one other, so I'm sure you'll get any answers/advice you ask for. I

myself am a cervical herniation, 3 levels, no surgery yet.

Glad to meet you.

and the fusion is good. But my ability to walk is so impaired I wear

braces on both legs and depend on a cane. The good news (and there is

always good with the bad) is that I have very little pain. The

surgeon's impression is that I waited too long to have the surgery and

the sciatic nerves were too compressed. Could be years for healing to

be complete, if any healing will occur. Does anyone have any similar

tale of woe? I am lucky to have a good job I could adapt to fit my new

immobility. Lots of caring friends and family, so all is not so bad.
