GFR dipped to 14
Got my latest bloodwork back yesterday and my GFR has dropped from a 15 to a 14. I meet with my nephrologist on July 6th and I’m afraid we are going to discuss getting on dialysis or a transplant soon. I had three people that I know of sign up to donate a kidney, but at least 2 of them haven’t heard anything from the transplant team. When I called the transplant team they told me that they can’t tell me anything and I need the donors to contact them. I thought to at was the purpose for them to fill out the link online and then that the transplant team would contact them when I had all my pre things done. I hate to ask the donors to do something else after they already filled out the information online. Also my two support people both work full-time and them or some of my friends will have to take off to stay with me since I have to have 24-7 care for the transplant. A transplant feels like such a burden to my loved ones. I’m 61F and have a retirement plan through work and financially will be fine, not great, but fine. Any others in the position of needing assistance with the care and deciding what to do? I’m feeling tired, stressed and scared.
