I am totally and utterly fed up with the state of my kidneys, and the doc's ability to actually do anything about them.

These bravenet journals are turning out to be a way of venting anger at our bodies, and that really annoys me.  I thought I was stronger, but obviously my mind must be stronger than my body.

I'm also convinced that my family think I am skiving from work, but actually, I love being there.  I like the people, the work, and I even like my boss!?!  Work don't know about my Urostomy, which makes it hard, but explaining about it would be soooo much harder.  I wonder if anyone has any ideas as to how to tell them in layman's terms about it.

Hopefully I will get my antibiotics later, and then I can start to function properly again.  I am applying for new jobs, but who would employ someone with a sick-record like mine?

I'm depressed, I'm going...

Babe - i have been off work since last Christmas as i could no longer cope with going to work and having accidents when i was away from the house. You will be surprised how understanding a new employer would be, you just need to be upfront and not try to hide your record.
I am very sorry to see you so down but i understand the frustration - i think my family and friends thought i was skiving until i was so ill i could hardly get up. In a way it doesnt mater what they think - you know you arent well, and that you arent a skiver, i doubt any of us will make peace with out bodies. Its something when your own body rejects itself right?! LOL
I dont know how you could tell your work about the urostomy, i took a really simple leaflet about crohns and how difficult it is the live with with all the little bits that it screws up! I gave it to my frinds at work. I never really told my boss except that i had bowel trouble - i think they thought i just had the runs alot!!
i am here for you always babe - chin up angel xxx

Simon you said that u admire Az for her honesty. Do what Ann says and take a leaflet in. I am sure if u tell them they will be so much more understanding than they are now. We know u r not skiving and so do u. Just ask for an appointment with ur boss. CAO must know surely it should be on file for insurance purposes?

Keep this up it's good for u.
