Have to plan for living

« on: July 11, 2008, 01:19:00 AM »

Hi...

I'm blank now, need advise from friends here:

Formally I worked in Maintenance Department as Maintenance Supervisor (Analysers Group), due to my ESRF, in April 07, I was temporary attached in the Contract & Procurement as Techinical Buyer for our factory Major Turnaround, it is 100% desk job. In September 08 this section will be resolved, and I am on delima.

If I go back to the Maintenance Department - means I have to be on the field, cyciling around the plants, climbing ladders, etc. As I read Epoman stories how his hips fractured - it worries me.

I have told my immediate boss, my limitation in the field due to my sickness, about dailysis, what will happen after dailysis, my energy/strenght has decreased, not like those days.

So.. can somebody give me some suggestion on my delima stage...

Thks and regards.

I would ask you doctor if he thought this type of work was suitable for you. I would also ask him about your bones. Renal osteodystrophy is common for people with ESRD. Good Luck to you. I hope you can find something safe to do.  :)

Epoman even admitted that his bones broke because he refused to take binders.  This damage was also before Sensapar, the medication to stop your parathyroid from producing a hormone that would leach calcium from your bones to balance your high phosphorous.  Thus making your bones brittle.

I would take the job and try it.  You can always tell them if you need to cut back.  Work as long as you can.
