Dear Diary: It Is Hard To Be Happy When You Have A Problem With Your Body
I am just happy again that I will be going for my dialysis because at least my body will get another cleaning. Dialysis just returns my appetite back fully but only when I am hooked up and after a day of my treatment my appetite just goes to the drain again.
A few days ago I tried to eat here at home my favorite food at dialysis but it wasn't the same. The food tastes different and I end up just trying to finish it without enjoying it.
It is different, way different when eating at dialysis than when eating here in the house and it has been so rough for me for more than 17 years now not being able to enjoy food normally. The reality is quite unimaginable for me but it happened and still happening especially now.
What happens is that I am just trying to survive my situation and I am a bit used to it but it doesn't mean that I am okay, I am not and it is just feels like my head is only high enough above water to allow me to live and that is how I would put it because my lifetime currently is always in a survival mode like a person left for dead in an unfamiliar jungle and is just trying to stay safe and alive.
Dialysis should never be the sole way to solve kidney damage, it is just a way to prolong one's life until the patient can get a kidney transplant but due to my financial constraints I was left with this sole solution until my body just went into a very bad metamorphosis that left me disabled and disfigured, it is really hard to think about it but it happened.

Cryptocurrency came too little too late for me because changes in my body already happened until I earned some substantial amount to at least afford some of my needed surgeries but I am still not losing hope and will try to push for my goals if it is still feasible and possible.
If not then I cannot do anything anymore but to continue with this kind of rough road that I am tracking ahead, it is my fate that I had to accept with clenched teeth and the only rest is when I die. God have mercy.
Lets hope these cryptos start going up for all our sake's.
I can't believe how brave you are. How old are You? And at this point if you get the money You still can have a liver replacement?

I probably am older than you @sergiomendes I am already 40 y/old but have a body of 120 years old man >o<
If I could save sufficient funds I will push for my surgeries but right now I can see that I still have to work it out more that is why I am persistent in posting everyday.
Yeah no matter what we all have to work hard to get there...and You are such a hard working guy... Love that. How much is the surgery?

I was planning to get the Parathyroidectomy so that I would never have to endure the misery of the side-effects of my parathyroid medicine (Cinacalcet) plus the burden of its expensive price and it will also stop the progression of the enlargement of the bone of my face.
But I haven't asked for the price of that kind of surgery since I still have limited funds right now.
While the cost of a Kidney transplant in the other hand is about $25,000 plus the post-operation medicines and the pre-operation clearance tests.
The last and my God grant me, is the facial reconstruction surgery. Now that I do not know what it will cost but probably threefold the cost of the Kidney Transplant @sergiomendes
But among the three I want the parathyroidectomy first and then the Kidney transplant. May God wills it.
I see... Well you work really hard in here and you are amazing. If we are lucky to see the markets go up... You for sure will be able to save for that and improve your health and your life. We are here to support you.
