    Pleased that you've got the date for your op and I'll be there on 10 July. So sorry to hear about the progression of your kidney disease, though. Take care.

    I hope that OT get back to you soon - if not chase 'em up because things need to be sorted, yes?

    All will be well. ((((( ))))) xxx

    its was all delayed because of the stage 3 kidney disease I didnt know I had...it was on a letter when I asked for a copy of them all from the hospitals...so had to show them the letter...I knew I was having regular blood test for a slight raise kidney reading...but it was a shock to see it was stage 3...xxx

    That would have come as a shock, Barbara. I just looked it up on the NHS website and less than 1% of people with stage 3 go on to have kidney failure. Stick with the 99% :wink: and you'll be fine.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Barbara
    What about pants/knickers larger than normal....I remember being told that on this forum.
    One good thing about our hospital is they have a mock kitchen and a mock bathroom and they take you round it, show you different things and how to use them
    Are you getting a trolley??? I found that invaluable.....used my sticks to get over to where it was in the room and then used it to go to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee {if Peter was out or I was feeling independant :lol: }
    They didn't mention that to me but I saw it in their kitchen and asked about it :wink:

    Love
    Hileena
