Here we go I guess

I have been in so much pain since January. We don't have health insurance. I have been coping until this last Wednesday.
I was admitted to the hospital through emergency.
I had a cyst the size of a grapefruit and a dead ovary removed.
I also have polycystic kidney disease. My kidney function was at 10% yesterday. They are holding me in the hospital until they determine if my kidneys have failed.
I can't afford the hospital. I can't afford treatment for end stage kidney disease. I am trying so hard to be strong but and I just going to die? I am 56.

Podcast for #Pkd #PolycysticKidneyDisease

I have just had a radical nephrectomy and was lucky to pull through. Transplant in February. I would like to document my story and interview others going through a similar challenge. Anyone heard of a podcast in this space? Cheers...Paul #Podcasts #KidneyDisease
