Kidney patient on dialysis, waiting for transplant
Truly shocking. But I think so much of this goes on in the NHS. But the only people who know are the ones who experience it. The NHS needs saving, but also saving from itself.

4 months post kidney transplant and I’ve just worked up to 10,000 steps a day from having done nothing for years. Indoors though, as I’m obviously immunosuppressed. But steps is steps.

We all have differing opinions and that’s how it should be. A lot of my work was in primary school finance. Once a school became cashless I had an extra day a week for other tasks.

I never hand over my meds, other than for transplant. I sign a disclaimer. Annoyingly the nurse still trots around asking if I’ve taken this or that. I always say it’s not the right time. I can fully understand your annoyance

My daughter couldn’t get a job after leaving Uni with a first class degree. She answered an advert on fb asking for someone to manage their social media but on a SE. She took it on and built up her client list and 3 years later she’s highly successful.

I paid £5 per delivery from Tesco when they first started in my area in the early 1990s. Now I order from Morrisons and the cheapest slot is £2.00. Admittedly that’s for a late delivery but it’s next to nothing.

This is how things are now. People don’t think of others at all now. Not all people, but enough to make this the norm

I think you can only solve one problem at once. But each solution seems like another problem arises. I admire your strength but know also that you have no choice
