im not quite to the"i want my vote back" stage yet.Taking on big insurance companies and lobbyists is going to be a series of long battles.Im thinking it's a "not in our lifetime" kinda thing.Just fix medicare for the seniors,they are gonna get screwed.

yeah that is the main thing that is intimidating about getting the trnsplant is knowing I'm gonna have to pay for all those drugs

and if I can't then I guess I lose it?
my tech friend told me about a lady that quit taking her meds stating that they were too expensive.She was spending her med money on meth.How fd up is that?
If you are on medicare,they pay for the first three years,then you are on your own.Im in a high risk pool,my meds are cheap but my premium is brutal.

Seriously,i feel that it is just exchanging one problem for another.Yes,i have more freedom but i also feel resposible for someone elses body part.The cost of the meds is ridiculous as well.I am super grateful for the transplant and the dialysis.These options to the sick are not available globally.:thumbsup:

thanks
its not so bad as long as they dont pull too much water off me. and I tell them how much to take, not the other way like they want
you can program your own machine,it's super easy.What is your transplant chance?I hope you are on a list.I know some choose not to.My transplant meds made me diabetic,thanks for the new illness doc.grumble

my neighbor is on dialisis. for years he had to drive to petoskey,about 70 miles away, then they started this roving van thing,,, now the local hosp can do it. Good luck and i will keep you in my prayers if you like.
sadly,it really matters where you live.I have a friend that is a traveling tech,she has seen it all.

Last advice,When it comes to kidneys,bladders,etc. you really need to worry IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING URINE!!Keep hittin' the fluids cause the vicodin will dehydrate you a lot.

im still pissing lotsa blood in my urine. 10 hours after surgery? ( They went thru my tool and grabbed a 6 mm kidney stone.


Don't listen to us. We don't know anything about it. Please call the doctor's medical exchange. "Lotsa blood" doesn't sound good.
since i cant see the patient you are partly correct,However,i know a ton about Kidneys,bladder,urinary system.This is all normal,but i dont know his history,meds or labs.

Thanks.
I went through the nice dark red w/ blood clot ceremony earlier, now its mostly pink, The last batch was brown/ red however, and the burning was back. I have been slamming the water, like they said.....

brown is old blood,pink is no worries(it is thinning),if it stays red and chunky go to the e.r.

is your urine brown,pink or red and chunky?It's probably left over junk from the stone thrashing your kidneys.
