Kathleen's Kidney Transplant Journey

05/02/2026

My name is Kathleen aka Kathy i live in Winnipeg Manitoba and I am still in need of a living kidney donor. I am a mother to a wonderful daughter who gives so much and is my caregiver. I am doing my part to stay healthy, eat good, go to dialysis but I need help in finding a living kidney donor. Sadly my daughter is not a match for me directly.

Hi from dialysis! I am doing dialysis Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for four hours a day. My lovely daughter comes with me on Saturdays! Iron was given to me and I needed oxygen because my blood pressure was low.

Update on the transplant journey I am waiting for one more test to be scheduled then I’ll see urology then they will tell me if I’m eligible to get a transplant

Update: had to go to the ER because the water pills stopped working and I also developed a hand trimmer. I am now starting dialysis on December 5.

I have been away for awhile. Wanted to give an update. Been restricted to 1.5 L of liquid per day and the doctors have increased my water pill to 240 mg a day to prolong dialysis for another couple of weeks to give my fistula time to heal

My first fistula surgery on Aug 12 for dialysis did not work they rescheduled me for today. I hope this one works. Wish me luck
