Two-year Anniversary

Tomorrow is my two-year dialysis anniversary. I had my chest catheter put in on July 3rd, 2017 and started hemodialysis on July 5th. At the time, I thought it would be a quick journey, just enough time for my live donor to pass screening. First, my donor was rejected by the social worker at the original transplant center. We then transferred our case to UCLA but ran into more issues (shadow in CT scan, botched biopsy, high blood pressure) for both my donor candidates. I’m still listed at UCLA but looks like I will be on dialysis for a few more years waiting for a transplant.
