GUNNY, I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOM. MY MOM WAS ON DIALYSIS BUT HAD THE ONE
SHUNT FOR 13 YEARS. THEY MANY TIMES WENT IN CLEANED IT OUT AND JUST EXTENDED
IT. HER DISEASE IS HEREDITARY. I HAVE 2 BROTHERS WHO HAVE IT, A NIECE. MY
BROTHER IS NOT DOING WELL AND ON A TRANSPLANT LIST. NONE OF MY BROTHERS AND
SISTERS OR AUNTS COUSINS FROM MY MOMS SIDE CAN EVEN BE TESTED WE CAN GET IT.
ITS A HORRIBLE THING TO GO THRU. MY MOM DIED AT 70 6 YEARS AGO. WE HAD HER
ALOT LONGER THAN THEY EXPECTED. SHE WAS 70 WHEN SHE DIED. MANY TIMES SHE WANTED
TO JUST STOP DOING IT.
USUALLY IT TAKES 7 DAYS AFTER THEY STOP DIALYSIS AND THEY DIE. I HAD A
FRIEND WHO JUST DID NOT WANT IT AND HE LIVED SIX DAYS.
I KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING THRU.
ITS HARD TO LOOSE A PARENT. WE DID ALSO WHAT MY MOM ASKED US TO. IT WAS HARD
LISTNING TO HER TELL ME ALOT OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS COULD NOT HANDLE IT.
TO THIS DAY I WANT TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HER, WELL I CANNOT BUT I DO
SPEAK TO HER OFTEN, OUNDS LIKE I M CRAZY BUT IT HELPS ME.
PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOUR MOM HAS GONE TO A BETTER PLACE AND IS AT PEACE
NO MORE PAIN AND SUFFERING.
PAM
