My first ever post....welcome to my world

Greetings from Andrew's world, a strange place inhabited by a few strange random thoughts, odd people and odder situations. 

I live in beautiful Arkles Bay, on the Whangaparaoa peninsular just north of Auckland, New Zealand largest city. Working in the wonderful of world of HR for a private school, my significant other, who will feature here no doubt often referred to only as The Big G (TBG), and surrounded by a smorgasbord of delectable animals: Bagpuss, Minke, Bluebell and Biggles.

 Their species will become apparent as will their personalities and no doubt wil become  frequent topics of observations and musings here.

About me, I am a youngish diabetic with a terrible secret unknown to most casual observers, but familiar to my family and friens and colleagues... I have end stage renal failure, which means my blasted kidneys no longer work, they are defunct and have ceased to be, in the paraphrased words of John Cleese "they are an ex organ". I patiently await a transplant which will hopefully transform my immensely regulated life and allow me a sense of freedom: freedom from regimes, diets and hospital visits.

This blog will hopefully give you, dear readers, an insight into the world of dialysis, transplant lists and the everyday workings of the health service as I progress slowly, like a Russian Czar on a troika, towards my eventual kidney and pancreas transplant. So join with me on a voyage of discovery.

I hope I make a few friends along the way....
