My father has been diagnosed with stage 5 CKD

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you for your time reading this, I really appreciate any help or experience.

My father was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure. The doctors have put him in on dialysis yesterday and I'm panicking.

We are based in the UK, he was stage 4 last year in November but stage 5 now.

To people who are going through dialysis, have done a kidney transplant or any other solution, or if you know anyone with the same issue, how are or were your experiences?

I am desperately trying to find any type of donation, live donor or deceased donor, but seeing the waiting time brings me further down.

I am also considering giving my kidney to my father. What is the process for that? Who do I talk to and what procedures do I have to go through?

Apologies if anything doesn't make any sense, I'm open to answering questions.

Thank you again.

Hey guys,

I have recently bought this car, about a couple weeks ago and just got inside 4 days ago. I've driven a lot in the past 4 days, accumulating around 700 miles. Yesterday, the ABS light popped up, which after investigation seems to be a sensor issue. The second light that popped up is the check engine light. I got paranoid and took it to the mechanic and he just told me to drive the car more and that it should fix itself in the next couple of days, if not, add DPF cleaner to a 3 quarter full tank.

I've been thinking, I have done pretty hefty milage the last 4 days, wouldn't that fix the DPF anyways? I am not a cat guy by all means, hence why came here for help and advice.

Also, I will be driving this car a lot over the weekend, going to places like seven sisters, durdle door etc cause of the long 3 day bank holiday weekend.

I need opinion, advice and help please.

Thank you for your time.
