20years today my transplanted kidney stop working (well it never worked properly anyway) it hung on for nearly 7 years. 26th May 1988 Sent for 2 hours of hemo my lab results sky high.
Where does the time go :-\ 20years in a blink of an eye :o It seems to have gone so quick ::)
Here's to the next 20 :boxing;

Each year when March 30 rolls around, my husband, Marvin, and I celebrate (yes, I said "CELEBRATE") his dialysis anniversary. This year, we celebrated 13 years that he's been on dialysis. It is a "happy" anniversary for us because he's still living life to the fullest (or as full as he can given the circumstances). So, to you, kevno, I say, "Happy Anniversary -- and may you have many, many more!" ;D
And, you're right -- where does the time go? Sometimes, it seems like Marvin's been on dialysis his whole life, and sometimes, it seems like it was just yesterday when he started!

Dustin has been on dialysis as of 1 year the first of March 2007. I am praying 2008 will bring him a TRANSPLANT!!!

It's a Anniversary I thought I would never get to :-\ thought i would have a transplant long before now :o I still have a letter from a doctor, i was going for a job interview in June 1988. The Doctor wrote in the letter "Kevin will have to wait a few months for a Transplant or maybe a little bit longer". Yeah >:( twenty years longer!
I see patient have transplants then most of them I have seen come back on dialysis. Some get another transplant :-\ I'm just the one constant on the unit. :banghead;

You are not alone in being a constant in the unit. They all groan when I check in, but there I am three days a week. Sitting in the corner with you!

I just celebrated four years at my Dialysis Center last Friday and I was honored by some patient spreading feces all over the floor and walls of the bathroom. I swear, I have to share Dialysis with some of the most disgusting animals in treatment history. It's been two years since I've met a nice patient who doesn't give me dirty looks or blast their television for everyone in the nearby zip code to hear.
In summary, sigh and ugh.
