Dear Diary: I Think I Will Still Live Long

Source

Most of my contemporary dialysis patients are now passed-away, most of them had some complaint or two about their hearts like chest pain and such. But I myself is not feeling anything about my heart except in dialysis if when I would crash my blood pressure but it is easily corrected by the nurse's mitigation/correction procedures and then I will feel okay again.

I have survived being a dialysis patient for seventeen years now going on 18 in the upcoming month of December this year God-willing. so I think I might survive for quite some additional years which i like really because I am persistent in wanting to live more years as I wanted to see the light of another day.

It just sucks that I suffered from bone ailment that transformed my appearance from a beautiful butterfly to an ugly uninteresting grub that no one even wants to look at. Not to mention and I am mentioning the pains and disabilities that is accompanied by my bone issues.

I am just thankful and I am really grateful in my heart that my facial bone got reversed a bit and with that I am relieved to know that my face will not grow much bigger anymore because if it does I cannot bear the disability and discomfort that it will bring to me.

I am also attributing my longevity with my Vitamin C intake because it protects the cells of my body from oxidation plus it boosts my immunity from simple colds and infections like that. So I might conclude also that it is helping me resist the viruses that is already in my body.

I might also get some liver function test in the future so that I can know if my body is really resisting the viruses in my liver and I just pray to God again that he wills it that I would not suffer any additional illness with my liver because I am already jam-packed with conditions which are grave already and one more health issue to bear is already too much.
