So I´m going to try the blogging. About….. Wendy: Me, Myself and I.

Yes I know it sounds maybe kinda boring and also selfish. I think it´s going to be a sort of real life stuff maybe some opinion I have, about health, travel, life quotes etc.
Firstly I already have to say sorry for any gramma mistakes you are going to read. I´m from Holland and I’m just not the best in English. I write how I will tell you with oh, ahhh, lol, wooohooo´s. That´s just me, silly me. I can’t write business English very well there is a lot to learn for me also in general life!
We will see if it works out or not a blog. I can always quit.


First a bit about me and my past so maybe you can understand why I´am like I’m if that make sense lol.  Sorry,this first blog is very long I know, next will be shorter.

I´m born in 1978 in Holland, Amsterdam. I life with 2 cats (Kali & Dewan) and one dog (Boeffie).
Since I’m born I have a kidney disease. We knew some day I have to go on dialysis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialysis) till my 9th I grow up like other kids. My lovely dad always said you can have my kidney. After  my 9th the health trouble started. One kidney out and I had a diet no salt, protein and carbonic. To discharge my kidney and so I still grow but stil ended up a bit tiny. I couldn’t bother though my best friend is a bit tinier and others I know from primary school to.
At 14th I started with dialysis. That was no problem for me I did it 4 times a day. My parents were very free they didn’t want me 24/7 on the sofa. You life ones and you have to enjoy it like others from your age. So I did! I went on ballroom dancing, disco´s and pubs. My friends never treated me different then healthy people. I really loved it, to grow like normal kid. I knew not everyone could do that.  In meantime my dad get checks tests  if I can have his kidney.
At 15th there was a kidney for me from Germany. We were so excited wow.  Normally you have to wait for years that you can get a kidney. I felt very lucky.
Sadley I had him just for 24 hours and he didn’t work anymore. In 24 hours again I had an operation and back to dialyses. It was kinda hard the 24 hours after the kidney was out but then I thought positive. This is the rehearsal for when I get my dads kidney. I was never on a IC and tubes etc everywere. Now I knew how it’s like when I get dads kidney and I know all nursus and doctors. I felt kinda more secure after what happened. When I was 16 (1995) on 10 April was the big day to get my lovely dads kidney. We were excited, nervous and so much to worry about. What if it goes wrong?! Also every operation has his risk. What if something happens to my dad?
What if the kidney doesn’t work? Also poor mum has then me and her husband in the op. (Her sister/ my aunt Inge from Germany helpt us. She was always like a second mum to me. I went every year on holiday at her place in Germany.)
Well then god it went very well. It changed my life at so many ways.
I felt so much healther. But oboy I was so fat I was huge. The medication has lots of side issues (prednison) gives you hunger, in 2 months I weighted 25 kilo ( I think its arround 55 pounds) more also I had hair everywere. Especially as teenager girl you don’t want hair in your face.  It made me very insecure. Also you loose friends, because you arent that skinny anymore. You know then who your friends really are. I struggled a lot but still stayed positive. First year I wasn’t aloud to be in rooms with to many people my imuum system was/is very low because of all the meds. I get sick very easy. I went hospital in and out first couple of years. I had pneumonia, I really had to fight for my life. My family and friends already said good bye to me. Doctors said I´m not going to make it. Well tadaaaaaaaa I´m lucky,  I´m still here 
After that the party in life started again. Went again to disco, could go to school again. The sort of normal life starts again. Yes lots of rules and medication because of the kidney transplant and you always have a bit more health issues
Finished school at 21 and started to work. I loved my job in retail I was shop assistant at Esprit store. Loved to work with customers and ladies. Manage teenagers and look what they are best in it and learn them more.
After view years I realised that working in shop takes a lot from my health. I had to stand all day and made a switch to office administration. Lots to learn it was and still is a big challenge.
Also the people are so much more serious haha.

I think this is enough for now about Wendy: me, myself and I.

Feel free to comments about it or what you want to know more or if you have quistions.
