...I'm kind of excited?
Two years ago I found out the hard way that my kidneys were failing when I ended up in the hospital in a hypertensive crisis and my lungs filling with fluid. My kidneys rebounded a bit for about a year, with my gfr rising to 22. But they've been steadily declining since December 2025, now sitting at 6. And I feel like shit. All the time. I'm so tired of being tired.
I have my surgery to get my PD catheter put in this weekend, and honestly I'm excited about it. I know it's going to come with a whole new set of challenges, but I feel like after 2 years of waiting to get to this point, it's finally here and I'm taking a step in the right direction. And a step closer to getting a transplant.
Did anyone else feel like this? I'm a little afraid I'm going to get a rude awakening. But I'm pretty optimistic about it, and also ready to adapt to whatever new hell that life decides to throw at me.
