"Thanks for the update. Sounds pretty encouraging, as far as the world of kidney issues goes. I did the 4x daily PD treatment for 6 yrs., but it just becomes the new normal, and the HUGE benefit of PD is no hospital visits. Just do it at home, easy…"

I have an adapter for a PD heater. It's for an older model Stickman black hard plastic heater with the round three prong plug in the back. I no longer use it so it's free for the taking. (in…Continue

Ron Grant replied to jo marshall's discussion intro from jo"Hi Jo,
Hope for the best and expect the worst. Not sure if that's great advice, but you're never unprepared. Sounds like things are improving, and hope is always a good thing to have on your side. If you're kidneys were good a year…"

I haven't had that virus, but I am curious as to how long you've had your transplant. (I've had mine a year) Please keep us posted on how things progress."

Ron Grant commented on The Kidney Foundation of Canada's group Transplant Recipients"Hi Salvatore,
I read an earlier posting of yours where you stated your creatinine was creeping up to 280. If it's any comfort, mine was 3x that before dialysis, and while on dialysis for six years, was around the 950-1000 mark."
Salvatore left a comment for Ron Grant"Hi all, I would like to know about the donor process too.

Ron Grant commented on The Kidney Foundation of Canada's group Transplant Recipients"A note to Salvatore...33yrs! That's what I call inspiration. I just had a transplant this year, and that's the kind of thing I like to read."

I believe that the general consensus is to keep working if you feel up to it. Possibly you could reduce your hours or days, or a combination of both? Depends on your employer, of course.
Personally, I worked a 9 or 10 hour day five days…"

Luck with donors?
Posted on July 24, 2014 at 9:31 15 Comments 3 Likes
Hi all,
Just curious about other's experience with the donor testing process, as far as frequency of donors that are actually accepted. Five years ago I had five donors lined up to be tested. All of them proceeded with testing.
This week, my last potential donor was excluded. Five up..five down. Rats.
It would appear that nobody's as healthy as they think they are.
Anyone else finding it a challenge to get a potential donor through the hoops?
