Today’s message 22/10/2019. The patient with patience. Good morning my follower/s. I do hope there are people registering to follow my new Kidney Countdown blog. I’m delighted to have this blog. It brings me hop. I know one day soon my new gift of life will manifest, We must always add for my highest good. Belief and trust are a positive thought to have, every moment of our existence, no matter what we are waiting to manifest. The Transplant patient is a great name for the recipients of their new Kidney graft. We have to have patience. The wait can be long at times. se two words are very similar When we look quickly these words look the same. i am learning good things from liz’s blog. I check my spelling with Google. I learn new words and the proper meaning for the word. I went on my first machine at 19 years old. I am now 58 years young. With only a 13 year successful break from machines. I am a patient with great patience. <3 Today I send love to the Universe and I pray we all wait with a positive attitude. May Monday bring some magical moments and fond memories on Liz's New kidney Transplant countdown journey

Sunday the 21/10/2018. The Catholic holy day, of rest for some souls. No Sidmachine needed today. My long 2 day break. Yahoo. Yesterdays Sid went amicable for me and my Lifesaving Sid machine. I ate my forbidden Tayto crisps under wrap, I hide them under the covers. Haha the nurses are like tracker dogs they can smell the flavours without any bother. I am sure I must surely have shares in Tayto, they are my favorite. No other crisp can match my Tayto. As for diet Coca cola, well enough said incase the renal dietitian might be having a peak preview at Liz’s blog. The Sun is shining, this morning was on the windy side. Not that I seen much of it. I was under the duvet in the land of nod. Having harmonious dreams. I did my Affirmations . 1, Today I welcome and nurture the new in my life, I gave gratitude for all that I have already, all that I have achieved in the last few months. My riches in abundance. How well my book is selling All my family and very dear friends. I have much to be grateful for. I love writing this Blog it uplifts my soul. I hope just one person might read it. I wish you all a memorable magical day. Namaste dear ones.

Well, this morning I found it hard enough to throw the covers off me and venture my two feet on to the floor. I thought I had turned off the alarm. That word always seems to make a fool of me. Twice it made that alarming sound As if once wasn’t enough. Trust me for not putting my glasses on and turning the alarm off properly. I hummed and hawed, It wasn’t until I said my morning prayers, that my mind was fit and ready to function properly. Some dark morning I feel a bit despairing, thinking when is my gift of new life, meaning my Kidney transplant ever going to come. When will the telephone ring and the administrator in Beaumont hospital, Dublin ever going to tell me to come up ASAP. I really need to be counting my blessings. I do know this, as there are people that dont even get on the transplant list. Once I am up and focused on my day ahead all seems to tick along nicely Like the beats of my heart The motivation sets off the determination button inside my mind. All it takes is one step at a time and change the negative thought to a positive one. The morning will be great. My day will be a success and 9 times out of 10 this is the case. Life is like an oil painting. It doesn’t need to be any shape or form, just beautiful uplifting colours. We can paint whatever we like in our mind look at the coloured canvas and imagine we see all our goals, this is called a vision. We are the only ones that can see our reality on the canvas No one else can, they will only see their own. So remember focus only on what is right for us Not everyone will have our visions. If they do, not to worry there is plenty to go around. The Law of attraction can manifest, whatever we require for our highest good, we need to be patient, divine timing. We need to have faith and hope. Where there is a will, there’s always a way. This is Lizzy bits motto for the 21/10.2018

To my dear friends family and acquaintances that have their good working kidneys, sometimes its taken for granted. “Oh wait Liz I need a pee”. What a nuisance having to get up 2 or 3 times in the night they might say cursing the job of peeing. I might stand their and nod my head, agreeing with them. While in my own mind I’m thinking get some cop on here my darling.. Theres me that would be delighted to be able to have my wee and not to be on a fluid restriction of 1 litre a day. To be on a special restrictive diet of all the things I love. Anything that would be healthy for an ordinary person is just not on my menu. I love Ice cream milky produce Chips peas beans peanuts oranges bananas seafood, on and on the list goes. High salt protein potassium are all no nos. I need 2 Calcium acetate tablets to bind my phosphates in my body. Everytime I eat. If I forget these tablets I itch and my eyes become red and sore. All food contains phosphates This also causes an itch I do be like a manic monkey on a Monday, due to my extra day off. The toxins have built up and this makes me terrible itchy. The hotter I get in bed, the worse I need to itch. Manic Mondays would be a thing of the past for the feisty renal warrior. I could drink a full pot of tea. I could go for a coffee with friends. Leave them sitting waiting as I say Oh just a minute I need to pass my wee. That’s my hope for the future. My nightly prayer. Dear God please hear my prayers. <3

A day off today, from the 3 day week kidney cleansing treatment session. I love having the day off. I have time to be myself, not just a number on a hospital consultants file that needs the Kidney machine to do the work of my 2 real kidneys. This is my life-saving kidney dialysis session, just to get me from one week to the next. Without my machine and 4 hour treatment I would not survive more than a week. The toxins and fluid would make my other organs shut down and eventually I would drown in the build up of fluid in my lungs. All would cease up. Today is another day nearer to my gift of Life. Sadly someone has to die for me to get the correct match. My family have all their bloods checked years ago. There was nobody suitable. When a person is intensive care and they need to have their ventilator turned off. If this person has given their permission and their family agree Then the kidneys and other organs may be used in Transplantation for recipients, waiting for this awesome gift of Life.God bless all Donors and their families. I am waiting on Kidney number 4 . I live in hope every day of that phone call to say they have a kidney for me 🙂 <3
