Hi guys. I guess you’ve probably noticed my absence from the website recently. Well, I’ve finally felt good enough to post something. So here goes. I’ve been in the hospital for the last twelve days and I’m still not sure when I will get out. Hopefully soon. Hopefully. I’m definitely ready.
Unfortunately, I was pretty sick when I arrived. I started out with an infection that made its way into my transplanted kidney and then into my bloodstream. Not good. Not fun.
But what makes matters much more difficult is that for more than a year now, my transplanted kidney has not been doing it’s best. I chose not to tell anyone because I wanted to focus on being positive, but I’ve slowly had to come to terms that my kidney, the wonderful gift of life given to me more than eighteen years ago will not be with me forever. Actually, something I never really expected to happen. But I was so young when I received it and it has done so superbly over the years, I never had a reason to question its lifespan. I’ve learned recently however, that 18 years is fantastic for a transplanted kidney and even better since mine was from a deceased donor. I can’t tell you how hard it is to accept that I will have to let this kidney go. Feelings of letting my deceased donor down fill my heart with sadness.
But it is happening. And faster than I anticipated. Before getting sick two weeks ago, I had begun the process to be re-evaluated for another kidney transplant and to be added to the transplant waiting list. In the meantime, my mom is being tested to be a possible donor. I had thought I would have time to do all of this and hopefully have surgery and not skip a beat with my job or with this website that I enjoy sharing with you so much.
No such luck. Since I’ve been here, I’ve started dialysis to take some stress off my distressed kidney while it tries to heal. The hope is that I would be on dialysis for a short while, giving my transplanted kidney time to recuperate. Then, go off dialysis and try to squeak a few more months out before surgery is needed.
The alternative, though which is just as possible is that 1) I’ll be on dialysis until my mom is confirmed as a donor or 2) My mom is not a potential donor and then I would stay on dialysis while I wait on the list for a kidney to become available.
So that’s what’s been going on. That’s the reason for the lack of cake pops and cupcakes and cute. I just wanted to let you know something and thank everyone for their wonderful and inspiring get well wishes. You guys are a huge bright spot in my life. You have no idea how much.
Hugs,
Bakerella
Hi!
I don’t Know if you will get this current message, but I will try it! Thinking of you and this remarkable day in the past. I have sent you messages in the past and have been thinking and praying that all is well! I hope the numbers are still great for you and hoping that they will ALWAYS be low. My late husband, who had MANY health issues, was a 4rth kidney transplant recipient and knew how wonderful and blessed he was to feel healthy after the transplants. WIshing you and your Mom a healthy life ahead and a beautiful holiday season.
God bless.
It is a miracle, praise the lord, praise the lord, praise the lord. My name is Carolina Alegre from London UK, seven years ago I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Idiopathic Hypoglycemia, life was frustrated with that condition. I could not do anything thing on my own, I could not move, I was just on one place. I was on medication for straight seven years but the condition was still the same. I gave up hope, I was preparing myself to die until a friend of mine in USA called me and introduced me to synagogue church of all nation[scoan]. He told me that I don’t have to travel to the church to see prophet TB JOSHUA, he gave me the ministry email that I should request for anointed water which can cure the disease. I contacted them and the anointed water was sent to me through ups courier service nearest to my location. Lol and behold immediately I took the drop of anointed water I was made whole, my life was restored back and I was healed after seven years of the diseases. To crown it all, a friend of mine that have suffered for hivaids for nine years was healed immediately she took the anointed water. HALLELUYAH HALLELUYAH HALLELUYAH, my friends why not visit the email; Anointedwaterscoan@hotmail.com and request for your own water and be healed and secondly the water can protect you from every evil and also make your business to increase.
