Its.very challenging to adjust to the changes and limitations that come with this condition. I have been on dialysis for 7/12 years and have undergone different types of dialysis, including home peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis. Dialysis is a vital treatment for my kidney failure as it helps remove waste and excess fluid from my body as my kidneys are no longer able to perform this function effectively.
Living with kidney failure has significant impacted various aspects of my life. The daily process of dialysis can be time-consuming and physically demanding, often requiring adherence strict schedules and dietary restrictions. I have set up and maintaining dialysis equipment, monitoring vital signs, and following a specialized diet to manage fluid and electrolyte balance.
In addition to the physical challenges, kidney failure had affect my energy levels and overall well-being. I experience a lot of fatigue and a decrease in physical stamina. This make it difficult for me too engage in activities that were once enjoyed, such as walking the dogs or participating in family outings. The limitations imposed by my kidney failure has lead to feelings of frustration and a sense of loss I still find joy and fulfillment in other aspects of life. Exploring new hobbies, focusing on self-care, and maintaining connections with loved ones can help provide a sense of purpose and happiness. I prioritize self-care and seek support from my family and healthcare team to navigate the changes and challenges that come with kidney failure.

Transplant) for me would be a dream. Come true it would be like waking up from a nightmare. I will be able to do the things that once did before things at once. Enjoy it would definitely change my life.
