Wow so its 2013...ya I was away from blogging for too long sorry.Time has just been crazy busy. In a good way for the most part.Well aside from still waiting and waiting for that call about a match.
So ketchup...December was just full of family time and enjoying Christmas...Donor status...well I had a friend working on the prcoess. He got really far and we all had a feeling he was going to be the one because he had gotten so far in the process.. We came to learn he was not a match :( So the search continues. 
The key is just to keep on thinking IT WILL HAPPEN. And to just think happy thoughts... lol I know that sounds kinda silly. But its the truth. And I know I keep repeating that in my entries. But I want people to really think about that.

In case you forgot what a
dailysis machine looks like :P

Dialysis is going pretty good, well good enough for a dialysis treatment. Iv gained weight so the doctor upped my dry weight. :) which is good means I gained actual weight not water weight..water weight what is that you ask? Well since my kidney doesn't work and I dont pee. Every liquid I consume just keeps adding up in my body. I am only allowed to have about a liter of fluids in-between dialysis treatments. So the dry weight is my actual weight AFTER they pull off all the extra fluids. If someone goes way over their fluid limit that can cause more health problems; heart problems, blood pressure problems etc. 
:( I hate having to depend on a machine to keep me alive. Things will be soooooooooo much better after I get a kidney. 
January went by in a flash...And we are now in February .. so I started a new project. I am making blankets for other dialysis patients :) I really want to get the word out about what I am doing.I need donations of fabric and sewing materials and monetary so that I can keep making blankets. 
I think I am caught up on whats going on...lol ya not much...dialysis...dialysis....sewing <3 

Much love
