Maj's Kidney

It always seems to be when things are the darkest that you see that ray of light come through.

Due to us including our power company in our bankruptcy they are now requiring us to give them a $600 deposit on top of paying out bill,which brings the payment due to almost $900 for this month.

Now think about it, if I could come up with $900 to pay the electric in the two weeks thay gave us to get it, don’t you think I could have been paying everything all along?

Considering I do dialysis at home 6 times a week,and that is considered basically being on life support, it will be interesting to see if they actually do cut off the power if I can’t get the $900 by the end of the month.

As it is though, things happen in mysterious ways. In the past 24 hours people brought several computers over for me to fix and I now have $120 towards that bill in hand,and even more important, I have hope again.

The Story Part 9 Nothing can prepare you for dialysis. Whether they are doing it by attaching tubes into your chest, the temporay access point, or sticking needles in your arm. My understanding is the purpose is to clean your blood of the toxins your body creates but can’t process out of you because the [...]

The Story Part 8 With the realization that I could no longer work came the realization that I had to do some things very quickly. One of those things was to get everything out of my shop before I owed another months rent. We were coming up on July and I hadn’t brought in any [...]

The Story Part 7 From May 23rd on I realized my life had changed forever. I was not going to be going back to work in two weeks as I had been told. I was not going to take a year to have to begin dialysis as I had been told. After the 2nd operation [...]

The Story Part 6 While I was recovering from the first surgery, I developed breathing problems and was hospitalized again. During that stay the Drs decided I was in Stage 5 of kidney failure and I had to start dialysis immediately. To do that they had to create access to my system. The result of [...]
