After spending five years on the transplant waitlist for a kidney, Victoria resident Eric James is now turning to social media to issue a plea for a donor.“I now have stage one congestive heart failure as a result of my being on dialysis,” James said. For the past five years, three times a week, James heads to the dialysis unit at Royal Jubilee Hospital and checks in at 6 p.m for an overnight stay.“I kind of feel like I’ve come to the end of my line here, in this round of dialysis,” James said. “That’s what prompted me to put that post out there. Sort of an act of desperation as my health continues to deteriorate, and become more serious.
I need a kidney transplant. I've been on dialysis for coming up on 5 years now and it is all starting to catch up to me. Please take some time to read this and share if you know anyone who would be interested.
