Im trying to enjoy life to the fullest

sick and tired

« on: June 27, 2012, 11:12:17 AM »

I had an AV fistula and a pd cath placed on the same day but it seems that after the surgery I got sicker. My kidney functions are at 12% and I think I can tell. I vomit everyday and when I'm not sick I'm sleep. I feel like my life is failing. I want to give up but I have a family that loves me so I try to be strong. I'm just writing because I start pd on July 2nd and I was wondering if my fourth is going to be sucky like the rest of this month? I want to eat and enjoy my family and have some safe fun. Just my life right now.

Welcome to IHD. I'm sorry you are having such a rough time right now and I hope you will be feeling better soon. Hold on to your family's love right now and know that it will get better.

Whether the glass is half empty or half full is not as important as being thankful there's a glass and grateful there's something in it.

Hang in there - once the toxins start coming off with the PD, it will make you feel better. It might take a bit, though. Don't count on running around the yard with any 4th of July sparklers - but get your blood work back to normal, and you should show an improvement very soon.

Just wanted to add my voice to what others here have said. Try to hang on. Sleep as much as you need to. Understand that it may take a little while for you to feel an improvement, but once the toxins start to clear, you WILL be able to enjoy some summer fun. All the best to you.

You should feel differently and view things differently once you are on PD. good luck and keep us posted.
