Hi guys,
I'm new to this site and I just want to say hi. My name is Jennifer and I have been on PD for 15 years now. I started when I was 16 years old and they found out my kidneys were too small for me. My story is pretty simple, I went from having nothing wrong to getting sicker and sicker till the doctor finally drew blood to find out my creatinine was at 17 and gave me a water pill to bring it down. I went back to the hospital the next day to find out I had no changes and they put me on dialysis that night by placing a catherder in my neck.. (Oh btw I was wake for the whole time they were putting it in cuz I was too sick to put to sleep.) But when they placed it they popped my lung. So I was put into ICU, I had never been to the hospital before in my whole life and now I got the full tour! They got my lung back to normal and got me stabilized. After being on hemo for a few months I decided to go to PD. So far its been great and I have only had to have the tube replace once. I continue to live my life to the fullest and try to live a normal as I can. This is really the first time I have ever really tried to go to different sites to talk to others with kidney problems. The reason I have started now is I'm trying to make some new friends and to meet some new people to talk with. So I guess I can tell you a bit about myself and if you want to talk some more hit me up.
Lets see where the start.. Well I live in the mountains in CA near Fresno. My family owns a alpaca ranch, so my job is to care and be a farmhand for the animals. I love all kinds of music from classical to pop. I love to watch good movies, just not horror or anime(sorry not my thing)lol. I few of my favorites are My Fair Lady, Inception, Robin Hood Men in tights and just about any Disney film. I have a sarcastic sense of humor and will say things that make you give me that look like are you for real.. I can tell you right now I'm not and don't take me too seriously. Its just how I deal with things. Also I love to make people laugh! Also I love all kinds of jokes from the cheap jokes to the rude ones. Really nothing you say will bother me. :D I have been told before I'm a old soul cuz I love all those old movies and T.V shows. But I'm also a big kid at heart, love to see the good in the world and to have fun in life!. i love to text to keep in touch with people and I send a lot of time on facebook when I'm bored. lol. Like I said I'm new at this so I'm not very good. Sorry..Oh I can tell you this, my life is very crazy, I never know what will happen from one day to the next. One day it can be packed with things and the next nothing. It like living on a roller coaster and I just enjoy the ride!! LOL. Well I guess if you want to know more about me just ask me..You can ask me anything, I'm not bothered by any questions. Also if you just want to make a new friend too, to text or call I'm here too. Just let me know and I will give you number.
