When COVID hit it seemed like everyone all of the sudden realized they should be washing their hands regularly. What freaked me out was that so many weren’t already doing this! 😳

There are so many side effects of having kidney failure. Aside from not getting to eat what I want, as a dialysis patient I am on a special diet, I also have to limit my fluid intake. Not drinking as much water as I want to has lead me to have very dry skin. I really so much on topical moisturizers just to try and keep me skin hydrated.

When people think CKD and dialysis are a death sentence I like to remind them we are blessed to have dialysis as an option. My kidneys failed me 18 years ago and I’ve managed to fight every day since then to live. When you have to fight for each day you learn to cherish every moment. Time is not guaranteed. Happiness is not guaranteed. You need to work for it. Appreciate the moments you have. So put a goat 🐐 on your back and carry on. 😊

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month it’s important to discuss and share how you’re feeling.

Getting excited for my upcoming Facebook Live chat about

It’s May (AKA BIRTHDAY MONTH)!! 🎈

Slowly getting settled into my new “forever” home means checking out the rooftop hot tub. The sense of joy and peace I feel right now is incredible. Hot coffee, hot tub, hot sun warming by back, and peaceful solitude as I sit here surrounded by high rises. Part of the life of someone with a chronic illness is you end up spending a lot of time with yourself. The benefit of that is getting to truly know yourself. Coming to peace with spending time alone. Becoming your own best friend.

Happy #nationalpetday! I had the great honor of staying in my jammies and taking a #catnap with these two sweet preciouses today. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate.

That time I represented FSGS for Rare Disease Day at the California (CA) State Capitol in 2013. 🥰
