Today is my first day without dialysis. I can't believe I am writing that. (See last post for more details) It is feeling quite scary as now my kidneys have to really get going otherwise I will have difficulties breathing as the fluid settles on my lungs. It is exciting too though as this is the only way to see if there is enough function in my kidneys to cope without dialysis. If that is possible then what a change to my life. I keep going round and round in circles in my thinking as I am sure you can imagine. I don't want to hope too much as that would be SO disappointing if it didn't work out but I am hoping a bit and thinking how wonderful that would be. I need to just keep holding on to the creators hand and he will guide me through this.

It will be very strange going to dialysis today and just having a blood test and no dialysis. I am not sure what to say to the other dialysis patients as it seems so unfair to them. Some have done dialysis for so long.

After my blood tests I am going to go shopping on my own - lovely. Then lunch with Joy, Matt and Paul.

I will update here daily again for a while to let you know how I am getting on. Please pray for us over the next few days - it may be a bit of a bumpy ride! But I am holding on tight and ready for whatever comes - I hope!
