A fun little tiktok I threw together if my dialysis set up. Sadly my chair is out of commission and in need of repair, but the set up is still pretty similar

One millionth organ transplant

[beccaneedsone]

It’s almost been a year since I started dialysis. It took a lot of adjustment and I spent the first several months desperately seeking a living kidney donor. Which, I need, yes, but now that a year is coming I feel more at peace with the dialysis. I still want and need the transplant, but I no long feel foreign in my own body.

I’ve been lucky to have a partner who has stuck with me since before I had the catheter placed, and after. He has given me love and acceptance along the way. Giving extra love to my belly when I’ve felt self conscious about the catheter.

Hemodialysis scares me and I hope that PD continues to work as I’m more than certain I will panic myself to death being surrounded my tubes of my own blood.

It’s wild how the brain works. And one day I’ll get to learn the process of accepting my body without the catheter hanging out of my abdomen. I’ll get to have a kidney that works; a kidney that will revitalize me

Well hello tumblr! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here. A lot has happed to me and to good ol tumblr.

But listen: I got a problem. A kidney problem. You see, my kidneys don’t work like they used to. I got this autoimmune disease that has weakened my kidneys over time and I need some help.

Been looking for a living kidney donor and some funds to help me pay for all these dialysis bills I got stacked up. But what I need most is community. People to help me spread the word. Help get my story out there so I can find my One True Kidney Match. Wouldn’t it be great if they made a dating app but for finding a living kidney donation?! Ah, we aren’t there yet alas.

This page is set up to help me on this search. I have a website and everything that helps me along on this journey. Things haven’t been easy. They’ve been scary, hard, depressing, heartbreaking. I’m only 34 and about to write a living will. I didn’t have that on my bingo card for life. Did you?

Anyway! Help a gal out! Share this post, share my links. Please help however you can
