When I found out I was one point away from Stage 4 CKD I panicked and was consumed 24/7 with my condition. It took my breath away. I grabbed my iPad and started researching what I could do to slow it down. I felt like no one could understand what I was going through, like my children. They’re sympathetic and loving but they don’t get it. I understand that. I am alone after being with my ex for 32yrs so I have no help. I’m okay right now at a 3a but as this disease progresses I don’t know what I’ll do.
My strength comes from my belief in God. I am involved in Bible Study and a couple of woman’s growth groups plus a luncheon group. These help me network with other folks who will pray for me and maybe even be there for me when I need the most help.
I hope you can find some local support who will lift you up and also help you out. I’m sorry you’re going through so much. The weight of all of this can be tough.
