@rhanea, one more thing ….. during the course of your transplant evaluation I hope and pray that that your team can get to the bottom of the”undiagnosed nervous system disorder that has plagued you for 9 years” and figure out a plan to help you with that. That would be a blessing for you!

Thank you Cheryl for your reply. I guess my transplant dr was telling me that it was up to me. But couldn’t guarantee that it was going to h
Elo improve my life, and that it could be worse. I was overwhelmed by the whole process as it was. Hearing him say that my life could be worse scared me. I wanted to have that scan first before I made a decision because I didn’t want to have them turn me down later. The scan is to check the veins and arteries that connect the bladder and kidneys. I should have asked questions like how would I make my life worse?

To be honest, I’m not sure if I want to do anything. I am getting tired and sometimes I feel like my body wants to kill me! My husband doesn’t get tired I have to have the transplant or dialysis or I WILL die. He doesn’t get that what I eat matters. And why I am getting weather, harder to get around and why I fall asleep every time I’m still for a minute.

I try to remember that I’m depressed and that affects my thinking. I don’t know.
