My Life On Dialysis

well to continue my story after these few weeks leave of abscense.

since I last wrote, I have developed a nasty infection and finances have become a real problem.

I had been attending dialysis as usual, and about half way through the session I developed a really dull ache in my elbow. I asked for pain killers and I think they worked.

I had an infection before which had started in the same way and left me in hospital for a week with terrible fever. So not wanting the same hassle I got some antibiotics from my doctor and started taking them, the only problem is they make me feel sick and loose my apetite. So now I was aching, feeling sick, cold, and tired.

for the last week or so, I really hadn't bothered to talk to God, I had kind of left Him in heaven, while I was going through hell. but last night my wife went out for a while and after a while of being stubborn, I began to share my problems and stuff with God. Soon His peace filled the room, and my sickness disapeared. and by the time my wife had got back I had some answers and was much less grumpy.

anyway finances, this week was terrible, our little car failed the mot test, and the tester suggested we scrap it and get a new one. but not being one to let go without a fight, we took the car to another mechanic, who said he could fix the car and mot it for £150 which allthough better than the £600+ quoted by quickfit, was still way beyond the money we have. anyway within a day somebody had offered to pay for the car to be sorted. but the next day we got a stupidly high electricity bill.

why am I telling you all this. well its one of the downsides to getting sick, our financial situation is limited to benifits and even on the high rate we recieve we cannot meet our own needs.

there will be a day when I am healed physically.
