    Got the call yesterday, went in to hospital, but it didn't happen this time. I've been on PD for over 2 years now. That was my first call. The immunosuppressant meds scare me to be honest, but it's got to be done, no other choice.

      I'm post transplant 15 months and I can tell you not to worry about it. The only side effect from Predisone (anti rejection drug I take) that I can detect is my ankles still swell up a bit and that might be because of all the water they have you drink a day (70=90oz) at least that's what my Neprogist says. I have cut back to about 65 oz a day after 13 months but ankles still swell up a bit but if that's all that happens then I could care less! Kidney transplant was a lot of hassle but so well worth it to get off the machine. I wake up 3x a week at 5am and appreciate the fact that I can just go back to sleep for as long as I want. R

    Very nice well put together video. I just turned 21 and was diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney disease. (Dam genetics) I’ve been doing this at home dialysis for a week now and it’s not fun. It’s a pain in the but sometimes with drain pain. I would never wish any of this on my worst enemy. I’m just praying I can find a kidney and get rid of this machine and boxes. But you know it could always be worse. Im able to live and breath and walk this earth another day where some people aren’t. Life is crazy but I guess it could always be worse

      I like your positivity. It not fun buts gets better with time. I don’t know your medical history but think being so young you would have a great opportunity at one. It is well worth the work and time you have to put in. Stay positive and do what you can to be in the position when that day comes so you are ready. Stay healthy as you can and show the doctors you will do your best to give that kidney it best chance. I am really rooting for you and wish you the best. If there is any I can do let me know. Things will get better!

    Ok the real... just had The stent removed today. IT SUCKED! It only took about 45 seconds but it was worse than i could have imagined. THAT SAID, it was quick. No numbing shot in for me, they wiped it on the camera and in they go. The water was unsettling and uncomfortable. I was begging to be done 20 seconds into it. As soon as the procedure was finished, I felt pretty good. No real pain and glad it was over. Urinating was painful , but do yourself a favor go to your local drugstore and get an Over-the-counter Urinary pain relief pills. HELPED EMENSLEY! Like many of you, I search the comments to be reassured that it wasn't as bad as some people were making that out to be, Just remember short-term pain for long-term gain! I feel great. Now that it's all done.

    I have a stent now that needs to stay in for two weeks. I just got it and I'm already dreading having to get it removed. Those stents are made to stay in place and it takes a pretty hard tug to get them out. I hate that first day when a stent comes out because I know I'll be spending the day under a heating pad.
