Paul Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Well I had my first run guys and its kinda like watching your oil get changed lol. Actually after the orientation I put some cds into my neighbors cd walkman and fell aslepp for most of it. Unfortunately I had an upset stomache half way through the session which raised my bp and caused havoc for a bit (couple of nurses came running in as machine siren/warning buzzers went off). It is a strange experience to have a machine hooked to your jugular vein and main artery but if it keeps me alive I guess it's worth it. Soon I will be wearing the Darth Vader suit lol. Well now I need to buy my own cd walkman since I will be doing this 4 hours three days a week forever. - Grand Moff Paul Conway
Eagle Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 My uncle had dialysis untill he got a new kidney (he had just one). So I know a bit of what you are talking about. May the force be with you! Who cares at all?!
Mad78 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Core GMC Isn't there a chance for you to get a new kidney? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance
Paul Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Well at this point I am not even on the transplant list due to my various other health problems. Who knows down the road though dude. I have a Brother but the Army will not allow him to donate his kidney until he retires (WAY down the road), My sister has 2 children who may need her kidneys if they develope diabetes so I won't take hers, my Mother is dying from cancer and her kidneys are in failure so she is out, that leaves my Father. He would donate but we don't even know if he is a match. Anyway the doctors say my other systems are pretty well shot so it may not make a difference. We shall have to wait and see my friend. _Grand Moff Conway

DarthTofu Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I hope there isn't a third... You have my sympathy, Paul... I wish I could do... something... anything. Just... Jeeze. Is it wrong to hope that someone near your home goes brain dead so that you can get their organs? 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Jahled Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 The word 'bollocks,' springs to mind. The reality of this sounds like a right pain in the arse, Paul dude, invest in a Ipod if you can, and load it with everything that bring colour to the obvious boredom I guess.. Sounds like a right hassle. Hang in their with the tubes and hassle mate! http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif

the_mask Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Heya, I hope you've already seen what I wrote earlier on the other place you can see now. Give up hope, you mustn't. See through this, you will, dude. Ps: a normal mp3 player is usually cheaper. Got one with SD cards, that fits neatly into my palm ^^ http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif
Defender_16 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 (Thought I'd commented in here before.) Don't give up hope Paul. Technology is advancing at a scarrily fast rate.
JediHunter Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I must've commented in the other thread?... anyways.. i hope the process isnt too bad for you GMC.. although Im sure its not a walk in the park in any way what so ever.... must feel.... odd... i would think.. but.. maybe if stem cell research continues.. technology will be able to grow a new kidney for ya...
