Dan is now set on his dialysis routine. Clinic dialysis is really different from home-hemo. He still gets really wiped out and if he has to can do maye one errand after treatment but then has to come home and rest/sleep for most of the afternoon.By the time he gets to the restaurant to be the host he is starting to perk up. By the next day he feels great! He feels strong and healthy.
Our work routine is also set and working well.
We are still looking for a donor. Like I said, we have some prospects but so far no luck. So PLEASE spread the word about Dan. We really really need a kidney!!!

Hey guys-- just wanted to leave a note that we're thinking of you. Sherry passed along the word to a bunch of people this morning.
Hope to see you soon!

I am hoping you find a donor soon. I have polycystic kidney disease, and in the course of updating my research on the disease, I came across your blog.
Thanks for talking about dialysis. It is not something I look forward to, but your blog has shown me that it is possible to have dialysis and still function.
Good luck, and I'll be watching your progress.
Trisha, I think what you are doing is outstanding. I have PKD, as did my Dad, and we searched for a long, long time for a kidney for him. Ultimately, we met Dr. Montgomery at John's Hopkins University, where they arranged for my mother to donate a kidney to another person, and my Dad to receive another individual's kidney in a six way kidney match. It is an amazing program. If you are not familiar with it and want more information, I can get you some contacts. In the meantime, continue your search.... by whatever means necessary, get the word out, as you are doing. I will be pulling for you. I wish more people were familiar with organ donation so this wouldn't be such a struggle for those of us that may one day need one.
