Time line of Dialysis

I thought it could be a good idea to document my time on dialysis.

The downhill climb for my kidneys started much earlier than this...1996/97. Good old lupus nephritis. On top of that I found out I also have anti-phospholipid syndrome and suffered my first mini stroke.

Timeline

02/12/2007 - Start PD, tenchoff catheter installed in abdomen.
05/04/2010 - Still on PD. Able to work and lead an almost normal life.
??/01/2013 - Still on PD when I broke my leg.
??/02/2013 - At home with broken leg and still on PD.
??/11/2013 - Ended PD with major infection. Started HD with a permacath.
10/10/2015 - Get the call to have a kidney transplant
20/10/2015 - Acute rejection of transplanted kidney. The rejection happened pretty much straight away. I ended up very sick. Still doing HD.
18/11/2015 - Was discharged from hospital after the failed transplant but ended back in almost straight away.
02/01/2016 - Finally out of the hospital again.
Currently   - HD continues on in-centre.

Total Dialysis = 11 years!
