What Is Wrong With Kafenes

Postby kafenes » Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:36 pm

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and I would like to give an explanation of my condition. Having a massive abdominal hernia for many years (after having 6 unsuccessful operations and giving up), a few weeks ago I had some abdominal problems and after a thorough test it showed my kidneys function was very minimal, virtually none. So, more tests showed I have kidney disease.
While on treatment and medication I had a 4 day continuous diarrhea attack which almost made me faint and had to rush to hospital. The intestines had been blocked. They cleaned me up and gave me medication for that and hope they will function better but in the meantime because of this my kidneys stopped working completely. I was rushed to the operating table and inserted two valves near the heart ready for blood cleansing (hemodialysis). I have to have 3 treatments per week of 4 hours per treatment at the general hospital for the rest of my life or until I decide what else to do and a transplant is on the books but needs some study first as the hernia isn’t helping the situation. Please don’t feel sorry for me as this is all because of not looking after my health properly in the past and leaving things too late. I am still in very good spirits and very hopeful as I am a fighter and don’t easily give up. :)

Good luck to you Kafenes, you are a brave man. I have never suffered serious illness myself but now I'm getting older, who knows? I don't know how I would react if I were in you position but it's a consolation to know that at least we have access to good medical services.
God bless you and keep you well.

Let us hope that your hernia will be soon sorted out and then decide on the kidney issue.
Naturally you are not at work so are you coping ok ?
Will be in Cyprus on the 25th August for a few days will give you a call.
Take care my friend .
ps. When Im not well I drink two rather than one bottle of red , but with your kidney problem I doubt very much if it is advisable !!!!!
