World Kidney Day- March 8th



World Kidney Day was today. Happy Kidney Day!. urg well I have been tired alot more, just because of med changes and adding an extra half hour to my treatment time. I thought I was going to have to have surgery this past week because my dialysis port possibly had an infection. thankfully they gave me antibiotics and it cleared whatever was going on. Im so relieved I really did not want to have to get another chest port in, be sore for days and possiably bleeding and urg, just having to go through another procedure.I mean I know its a piece of cake but still the fact that Id have to go through another procedure :(.  Other than staying at home and being sleepy alot, I have not done much. My energy is just sucked out of me from any little activity. 
Transplant Scars-brother and me :)
As of today the organ waiting list is 113,307. Thats an insane number for the United States alone. I'm so thankful to my mother who was my first donor, as well as my younger brother who received a kidney from an Aunt. We could have had to wait years if we did not have a living willing donor. People wait 6 to 8 years before their number comes up on the list.Soon though hopefully I will get a new kidney. God has a plan, not sure what it is but hes got one. Its getting late, and I really should try to sleep. Much love and happiness
