That’s kinda what I’ve heard from my doctors too. My heart and everything else is good. I have related bladder issues but nothing major. Good healthy weight right now. They’ve said similar to what you mentioned. I’m 32 now. Hope to at least make it to 60 lol.

Edit : also, the wait time for transplants is around 5 years here without a donor set up. So I guess long as I’m able to make it that long.

This may be a private type of message. Don’t answer if you don’t want to or dm me. I am overall a healthy person aside from the end stage renal disease. Have they talked to you regarding survival rate? This is something I try not to concern myself with but it’s hard not to think about.

I'm giong to have a fistula transposed to be able to start hemodialysis rather soon. How is it? Does the needles hurt a ton? Just any info about dialysis would be appreciated tbh. I've had a transplant before and that doesn't scare me but never having done dialysis, that's what worries me.

I have an odd concern. I'm worried that my fistula is going to start looking like a baseball on my arm after starting use. How did that shape up?

What's the energy level for you like now? I currently work 50 hours a week and really like my job. Good wife and we're fostering a great kid. I worry that my issues are going to make all this hard to do.

What do you mean by reduce time on holidays and such? Like tell him no dialysis because it’s Christmas?
