Kidney Disease Be Like...
I feel like I'm 7 months pregnant. With twins. One of them is lodged under my right hip. I can't get comfortable no matter how I sleep--it requires a complicated ballet of pillows with distinct thinknesses and shape. My back hurts, my belly hurts, and I'm tired all the time because it requires a shit ton of energy to lug my growing babies around in a sac attached to my spine.
Only with a pregnancy, there's an end in sight: you deliver the babies, and your body bounces (kind of) back. With kidney disease, the only end is a holy mary pass with someone else's organs after you've lost your own monster kidney babies to total system failure.
It's a nightmare, really. I mean there are worse things to suffer from. But it's weird and scary and very uncomfortable, in every sense.
