I am experiencing entirely too many emotions at once right now and it is literally making my head hurt.

#dress rehearsal was amazing #getting into pole dancing continues to be the best decision i’ve ever made #mom is in the hospital because she’s finally hit stage 5 kidney failure #which is strangely not as grim as it sounds because she’s already feeling better than she has in years thanks to the dialysis #lots of very complex emotions surrounding this because it’s something i knew was coming for years but it’s still overwhelming #she’s on the transplant list but i know my brother has already considered being her donor since he’s the one who’s compatible #much like i’ve considered the accessibility of a dialysis center in every move i’ve made in the last decade #and to top it all off i picked ‘a life on our planet’ as my wind-down nature documentary of the night #so the climate change anxiety is hitting hard #and i am somehow EVEN MORE sure of my decision to never have children #to my coworker who told me that ‘you could still change your mind’ no i don’t think i will #so like…glad i have therapy on thursday you know

Kari it's 3 AM and I just got pain meds and since I for some reason chickened out asking my actual nurse I'm curious: what made you decide to go into nursing?

if we’re being wholeheartedly honest the job security :pensive: but the longer and actual reason is that my dad is a nurse and healthcare ( but nursing especially ) is such a versatile field that you can go to just about anything in and still make a pretty good salary and with enough experience do travel nursing which pays more and allows for you to travel , all expenses paid , etc etc . it’s literally like the hardest thing ive ever done and i think going to nursing school is going to be worse ( i don’t think it i know it will ) but it’s a very rewarding field

#kari answers #and i think that ‘rewarding’ doesn’t even have to necessarily mean you watched a patient go from worse to better in the sense that their tx #was successful and now they’re all good but even in like a hospice sense . which might be morbid #but the whole point of hospice is to allow for a smooth transition into death instead of suffering for several months on end ( living off #machines …. dialysis … breathing and feeding tubes . what have you ) and also becoming a reoccurring figure in these patients and their #families lives when it could potentially be the worst time of their life #alls that’s to say it’s a good field . very rewarding #healthcare posting

the way people do not realize how traumatizing it is to have a sick parent is baffling to me

#the reactions to that (probably fake) aita post that's making the rounds on twitter are soooo.....#''why couldn't a five-year-old just go to the hospital and see her sick mom?''#number one thing is germs #number two. we didn't think it was a good idea to let my little cousins see my mom when she was dying because having to see someone #you love in that state is horrifying #having a sick parent permanently changes you. a kid with a sick parent would likely want opportunities to feel like their life is normal #i know i did #god dude. so many people have no idea how fucking lucky they are #also when my mom was in the hospital on my 13th birthday getting her transplant we still left and did a few things #like not much but we still got out #we would always try to do stuff when she was in dialysis so she wouldn't miss us #but we still needed to get out. this last time in the hospital the nurses were practically begging my dad to get out for a few hours #they just don't understand how this shit works and it's astonishing because it's all i've known for so much of my life

fun fact: most of the time when you get a kidney transplant, we don’t take out either of your original kidneys. so there are people out there with 3 or even 4 kidneys

#transplant surgery #i love transplant but i'm not sure i want my life to be quite that terrible #anyway i'm watching that episode where they do all the kidney transplants and they're talking about getting to keep the old kidneys #and i guess no one told the writers that wouldn't be a thing #also i think someone just 'started dialysis' through a peripheral IV #which brings me back to AV fistulas!

Frustrated by lack of relatable ESRD posts

I really really wish there were more posts about End Stage Renal Disease and everything related to it from other people who also live with it. Stuff about our experiences with kidney failure and dialysis and doctors and the diets they put us on and co-morbid illnesses and just everyday mundane stuff and what it's like to live with this condition. Cause most of the time when I'm looking up ESRD, I just find stuff about pets who have it, or posts from doctors or medical institutes or some study about some supposedly innovative thing in the nephrology world. I crave more relatable content from other humans who have ESRD, because it feels like there's hardly enough out there and I'm tired of it

taking a break from studying for finals. good golly.

my honors bio class is the only class I can even tolerate studying. The rest of my classes make me wanna bash my head into a wall.

#I feel soso braindead #my grandpa’s kidneys are failing and he has to go on dialysis (found out a couple hours ago)#my dad and baby sister have ear infections #my friends can’t not be overly dramatic about every insult/interaction ever #and no one even knows anything about me or what’s going on in my life #and my girlfriend is out of town for all of break #and my grandpa is dying and if he dies idk what I’ll do because I’ve seen him every Sunday my entire life #and been there and visited there and even lived with him and my grandma for a period of time and #life without him would never be the same #hes my grandpa hes my friend hes my pastor and nothing will ever be the same if he dies #and I can’t talk to anyone about it #and ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS #I have to cram for exams #and I know nothing in my math class #and nothingggggggg in my current events class #and I’m going insane #I actually feel like I’m going insane

Week 2 of training for dialysis at home. Today i am really tired. Had some trouble getting my blood pressure from dropping or going up.

I still have no idea what I’m doing. But my dialysis nurse is really encouraging.

I have FSGS. A rare form of kidney disease. It’s idiopathic. Meaning it just happened. Because it just happened on its own it is considered an autoimmune disease.

I worked hard for 9 years to avoid dialysis. And unfortunately it just happened this past September. I went from 25% function 1 year ago to 9% in August. That is a 16% decrease in function that fast.

The bright side is the reoccurrence rate for this form of fsgs is really low since i don’t have any nephrotic syndrome.

I am on on dialysis due to high blood pressure or diabetes. My blood pressure is secondary to my illness.

I’m starting this for numerous reasons. Primarily to bring awareness to kidney disease in other forms and hemo dialysis. My journey. Recipes. And the hope i can find someone kind enough to donate.

My blood type is A+. Even if you can’t directly donate to me donation of a kidney in my name could potentially lead to a faster match. That is information for next weeks post.

Please ask any questions. I’d love to answer them.
