I am new here

[diannekay]

My fiance Todd is on dialysis has been for a couple of years. We have only been together a little over 3 months. I guess I would like to learn more about dialysis. He goes 3 mornings a week. He has good days and bad. Is on the national kidney transplant list. I would give him my kidney if I could. So he wouldn't have to do dialysis, he hates it! He says i need to get tested. I plan on it asap.
i look forward to being in on your mesesage board conversations.
God Bless,
Dianne

Hi Diannekay...glad to see you on the forum.  Your BF is blessed to have someone who is willing to consider donating a kidney for him and learn all about the world of dialysis and renal failure.  This is a great site to learn from as there are folks on here who have been through just about every facet of renal disease, failure, dialysis, transplant that can be imagined.  Ask away!

  Dianne!

How blessed your boyfriend is to have someone who is willing to donate a kidney to him!  This is a fabulous (and very supportive) site; somebody on here will always have an answer to any query you may have.

Come back often!

Thank you for all the welcome comments. I am glad i found this sight. I am having a little trouble navigating around here, but i will eventually get it yeah I AM blonde. its natural cant help it.
Todd got a call from his kidney transplant counselour yesterday saying he is off the list until his health is better following the car accident on dec 6th. He is so discouraged slept all of the last 2 days pretty much i feel like im alone here with the dogs. Then when i got to work 3rd shift he texts me tellin me he cant sleep grrrrrr.
I know I should be glad he gets rest when he can get it. but i want our time together too.

That's only natural.  And there will be times you will have "together time".   I can SO relate to being alone with the dogs     They are my friends, companions and sometimes my sanity (when I take them out for a walk just to get some quiet time).  I am hoping Todd will recover quickly from the accident so he can get back to the active waiting list.

Ha ... despite being brunette I have oodles of 'blonde moments' so you're in good company; at least you have an excuse, what with being naturally blonde!

It's a pain about being inactive on the list but hopefully he'll be active again in no time.  I semi- know what you mean about wanting 'our time together'.  I'm a bit of a loner deep-down so am happy to keep myself occupied when Blokey is at dialysis, or needs to sleep, or just needs time to himself.  It is frustrating though when Bad Things happen and get in the way of 'us' and being together, so you have my sympathy.  It makes you realise how important those times you have together are ... I used to be a very argumentative cow, but have now learnt to bite my tongue and let it wash over me because I need to make the most of every moment when Blokey has the energy for living! (it doesn't always work; sometimes I can't bite my tongue fast enough!)
