[bobby]

Well it’s been 10years senes i was diagnosed with kidney failure and stoped 

Working in the next few days i will be evaluated by the kidney team where 

They will talk to about transplant and other other alternative to hemodialysis

I realy dont want a  transplant even thoe my life expectancy is 15 to 20 years 

Why dont i want a transplant 1. I dont know what kind of work i would do to wont

I never know what i wounded to with my life even be for i was on dialysis.

2. I have grow content with my life. and im ok with being pour

Does getting a new kidney mean you must work? for sure?

 

I don’t understand why the two things are related.

It could mean he qualifies to do some work, as having a successful transplant means, in their eyes, you’re “fixed”. In Australia, a disability pension from the government broadly works like that - if you have surgery or other procedure to fix the problem, then the taxpayer isn’t going to keep paying for you after that. 
 

It’s a crude way of the system dealing with fixed resources, not so much on individual care. 
 

I wish you the best, Bobby, with whatever you decide. Pray to Jehovah to look at all of the options you have and the benefits. 🌹
