Dear Diary: What If I Desired To Get A Kidney Transplant? I Will Get Born Again

I was reading some blogs of some kidney transplant patients a few years back and was surprised that some of them in fact had a couple of kidney transplant in their lifetime. It is quite new to me to learn such reality that in some part of the world people are getting transplant operations like they are just getting a tooth extracted.

Some individuals just goes into dialysis for a bit of long time, possibly waiting for a kidney to get available because these people often rely on cadaver kidneys or kidneys that came from a recently departed person that donated the kidney via either their own will or from their families.

So the people that I had learned from that are getting a few transplants are coming from western countries. They would be dialysis patients sometime sin the comforts of their own homes and then getting a transplant after a few years.

Now since the kidney would come more often from cadaver, the life of the kidneys will not be as much longer as expected. But even though the kidney would come from the relative of the patient, the life of the kidney transplanted with just be around fifteen years.

I still want to go under the knife...I really do

Although the life of a transplanted kidney is relatively short in my view, the life and strength that it gives to the patient cannot be discounted. I had been a dialysis patient for fifteen years now and still I desired to get a transplant. It is because i wanted to be normal again or at least feel normal and not feel the rigors of constant schedules of going to the dialysis center since the person that is bringing me there is getting old and that is my father.

Going to the dialysis is one thing but I also have to contend with the complications around it like hypotension, hypertension, heart complications, bone complications and the side-effects of treating that same old bone which makes me feel more ill than before. So if I would get a kidney transplant those things will not be on my mind anymore, I can feel normal again, normal sleep, normal strength, and normal eating patterns.

So I am saving up some finances if that could be an option and if I can see that I can afford and sustain it, I will grab that opportunity to transform my life and live my life like that of a normal person again, at least and I think there is still hope and I also wonder what the people around me would think if that would happen. God help me. God bless the steemit community that helps me.
