years out of life… before |nally succumbing.

Well, no thanks.

Dialysis machines and kidney transplants were not for me.

I didn’t care that other people coped with being strapped to a

dialysis machine for hours on end four or |ve times a week.

That’s them. It’s not me.

And I didn’t care that, for people lucky enough to |nd kidney donors,
better transplant techniques meant that they weren’t dying so

quickly afterwards.

As far as I was concerned… once you reach the kidney dialysis

machines and transplant stage your days are numbered.

Again: no thanks.

I had – and still have – many years of life ahead of me.

And I wanted those years to be healthy, happy, enjoyable.

Not ill, diseased… watching my clock run down.

This wasn’t the life I wanted

I felt very low, to be honest.

My doctor gave me the standard spiel: we can handle the
symptoms, we can try to address underlying causes… with the right

meds you could lead a fairly normal life. And so on.

I told him this wasn’t good enough. I didn’t want my life cut short
with a disease that – at least ozcially – had no way of being

reversed.

I didn’t want to watch myself deteriorate week by week. I didn’t want

to be plugged into a dialysis machine. I didn’t want a transplant.
