Having trouble making the decision, if I do maybe it will help, if not I die...
Doctor visit today,
Here’s what he had to say,
Brace yourself, maybe better to down lay,
Guess I am about to get my karmic back pay…
There are five stages of kidney disease,
I knew they were not that great,
But this news knocked me to my knees,
I am in Stage four renal failure,
Next stage, without intervention, I die…
Home dialysis is far better than having to do it in a facility. Look at it this way, you'll have a lot of time to compose but they'll probably make you give up bananas.
There is another choice. A kidney transplant. But that may not be in the cards for you. Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck and long life. Or as Spock said before he died: "Live long and prosper."
Hang tough, Edbear. We are all rooting for you and holding all your days as precious to us. A man's go to do what a man (or woman's) got to do and if it be shunts, so be it. Better to be wired up than undone, methinks. At least life would go on and the game's not over as long as there's the will to... write! Keep em coming. Love and prayers, Kate xx
Sometimes life gives us choices between two equally risky and undesired paths. My brother opted for the shunts. It tethered him to that lifeline and all of its demands until the end. I watched him die and unpleasant death--one that I would not choose. I believe the choice you make will be the right one for you. Good luck and God speed. The other Ed.
