Title: Newbie here Old-bie to kidney junk
Post by: BadRobot on January 07, 2008, 06:56:38 PM: Hello, Badrobot here. I have been doing the kidney dance :bandance; (similar to the banana dance) since I was 19 in 1990. I got a transplant in 1992 :yahoo; but lost it in 2000 :banghead;.
I am usually in pretty good spirits :rofl; but I am also bipolar :urcrazy;. :rant; Gripes may be in my future.

And if it's ok to hit you with a question right here on the intro page, did you have any trouble getting a transplant with a bipolar diagnosis? I'm going for my big interview very soon and I'm can't shake being nervous that they will turn me down for having a mental health history. People here have been really reassuring, but I'd love to hear from someone who's actually walked that walk (or danced that dance). The thread is at http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=6368.0 --- I'd love to hear !!!Everything!!!! about your transplant interview process.

Thank you for letting me jump your intro.

Post by: BadRobot on January 10, 2008, 11:24:48 PM: First off thanks to all of you for the welcome. I really needed the cheery responses. They made my day. :thx;

As for the bipolar question, no, I didn't have any problem what so ever. However most of my manic depression was made worse due to prednisone.

Thank you thank you!!! You have made my day as well. Now I will just put that anxiety to bed and look forward to my 5 hours of sitting around the hospital ;) Meanwhile, welcome again.
