Blogged for posterity!Ok, so some of you know that I have chronic kidney disease... well I have been on dialysis for over a year and today is a landmark day for me. When I was diagnosed with CKD back in 2008 it was a shock to be sure, I was told that I had at least 10 years before I would even need dialysis, let alone a transplant... cut a long story short my kidney (I only have 1) failed a lot quicker then anyone thought and had about 6% kidney function when I had my fistula put in (10% is normally the time people start dialysis/get a transplant) and then just 6 weeks later I started dialysis. At this point my weight was 123kg, now being that I was severely ill my weight increased till it plateaued out at 131kg, my doctor (a kidney specialist) said I need a weight of 119kg before he could realistically start doing the work up for my transplant (as my brother is kind enough to be my donor I get to bypass the waiting list) and today is that day, after coming off dialysis my dry weight was 118.8kg!!! I am so happy and wanted to share with you guys ^^
