It's Been a While


It's been a REALLY long time since my first post.


As I've had to think about the past 10 months...and everything that's happened, I wonder where to start and what I'd like to do next.


I finished with my Masters degree, graduated, got a job...my dream job (if I may add) and have been in denial about my kidney condition.




So as I battle the fear and the depression of why this has happened to me... I figured it's time to get out of this 'state of mind' and start assessing what to do next.



Do I concentrate on what my priorities are?


Do I start volunteering and lend a hand?


Do I pack up and go home... to my comfort zone and forget all of this?


Do I make a commitment about my lifestyle and stick to it?




So many questions - as usual! And too few answers.



As I battle with the truth of what's happened... I hope that blogging about what happens next and the journey of trying to save my kidneys might (hopefully) help others in a similar situation.




I think I'll start with my kidney biopsy - been there, done that!

In the meantime - here's a not a so funny joke about the truth of black market kidney trade.
