Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast (Kidney Health Podcast)
Health & Fitness
In this riveting episode of the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore invites kidney warrior, Senet Kassaye, to share her transformative journey - from unexpected kidney failure and dialysis to eventual kidney transplantation. Senet's vivid recounts of battling diabetes at a tender age, experiencing a sudden stage 5 kidney failure, and the ensuing life-altering decision to undergo dialysis offer valuable insights into the mental rigour required during such transformative periods.
Through a series of probing questions, Dee dives deep into Senet's narrative, elucidating the complexities of her decision-making process, particularly her choice against the fistula. Transitioning to a hopeful note, the conversation culminates with Senet narrating her joyous experience of kidney transplantation, providing a unique perspective and valuable advice for patients facing sudden kidney ailments and possible lifestyle adjustments.
Senet's story is one of survival and resilience. She details her anticipatory anxiety during the drive to the transplant hospital, the rejection of her pancreas transplant and the relief accompanying the acceptance of her new kidney. Discussing the immense physical pain resulting from organ rejection, she grimly recalls opting for a second surgery to remove her pancreas. That said, the successful compatibility of her new kidney re-echoes the monumental significance of a successful transplant, made more meaningful as it saved her from an exhaustive dialysis routine.
In a segment focused on patients' post-transplant needs, Senet shares some practical advice on maintaining the health of the new organ, staying adherent to the medication routine, and keeping a positive mindset. Particularly touching is Senet's appreciation for organ donors and their families, emphasising England's opt-out organ donation system, and encouraging those considering to opt-out to prioritise lives over fears.
This revealing episode concludes on a hopeful note, powerfully resonating the undying spirit of positivity and looking forward to better times despite significant health challenges. Thus, it delivers an inspiring journey of a brave Kidney Warrior, offering light to others embarking on a similar path - proving that there is hope and life after a kidney transplant.
