So a week has now passed and the doctors are still unsure what is happening with my Kidney. I have had a couple of ultrasounds done on it and I am waiting the results back from the kidney biopsy I had done a couple of days before.
I have to say that week has had to be the toughest week so far. I’m in a new country, with doctors that don’t know my situation, a new job that is now up in the air. I am for the first time in my life terrified of what is to come but of course keeping a brave face on to not worry my partner and family.
I have been getting treated for both rejection and infection for the mean time until all test results come back. I am being given Tazocin to treat a possible kidney infection. The side effect I was suffering with was diarrhoea, insomnia and soreness at the cannula site.
But after all of this I thought it would all be fine and working again in a few weeks time and then the real shock came. I pee’d blood. This was the first real indication to me that something was very wrong. Shortly after this I stopped peeing altogether. And still to this day 10 months on I am yet to pee.
Look on the bright side I got more time in my day now to do more things.
