DIY SOS

[biomulv]

Anyone watch DIY SOS tonight.? 

 

Not usually a big fan, but having spent nearly 3 years on dialysis, I found it quite interesting. 

 

As usual there was some dramatisation / some factual inconsistencies but not too

many.

 

Always good to highlight the cause.

I watched that,for some reason it really got to me tonight 

good show

I always cry at diy sos. I'm a big wus and sucker for the dramatisation especially when the sad or uplifting music starts.

Stiff upper lip is failing me.

Funnily enough I have just delivered a cooker to the current DIY SOS big build this morning. It will be on TV at a later date. Unfortunately I will not be on tv as the kitchen is being installed over the weekend and I just delivered it to a container in the same street.

My wife hasn't plucked up the courage to watch it yet.

 

Might have to hold her hand.  Or go to the pub when it's on. One or the other.

I didn't watch it but I heard at the dialysis unit that it had been on.

 

Ill watch it one day. 

 

I take it you you had a transplant successfully Biomulv?

Yeah, I waited long enough on this one. 

 

How long did you get out your first one? 

[S27VEJ]

4 weeks. 

 

It was my dads. Two years ago today. 

 

Ended up been a clot in the renal vein. So it had to come out unfortunately.

That sucks, sorry to hear it. 

 

The 2 others that were done the same week as mine failed pretty quickly. It happens. It's a lottery for sure. 

 

Hope your call comes soon. 

 

My last one, although it worked, never achieved over 30% function. Enough to stave off dialysis, but not a host of other symptoms. 

 

This one is far better out the box. Completely different experience. Although it's been biopsied already. They are quite trigger happy with that in Edinburgh.
