I would like for you to think with me, do you remember taking a family vacation or trip and within about 15-20 minutes of the trip you would ask are we there yet and your parents answer would come back not, yet we just started and every, so often you would ask the same questionContinue reading “Am I there yet?”

After the last story, I wrote Good times in Dialysis Part 2. I wanted to write about another experience that I had in dialysis. Not only will I share this story, but also the lesson that goes with it. Life has so many lessons for us to learn, and sometimes they come from some ofContinue reading “Tuna sub of consequences”

It’s funny, as I was finishing up part 1 of “Good Time’s in Dialysis” I realized that there are so many things that happened when I was in dialysis that were good. Sometimes downright funny, and I thought I would share some of these experiences. I want to first start out with a disclaimer ifContinue reading “Good times in dialysis Prt2”

Almost everyone that went to dialysis most had a bag. Backpacks, duffle bags, tote bags, suitcases, yes I said suitcases you would be surprised what one would bring. When I started dialysis I received the same care package as everyone else: A medium tote bag, a blanket and a set of headphones. After a fewContinue reading “What was in my dialysis bag?”

Part 1 Good times in dialysis is that even possible? As I was thinking about a title for this blog I had to laugh a little because this was a question that someone asked, and I thought to myself If they only knew I mean you have heard the saying “What goes on at dialysisContinue reading “Good times in dialysis”

So I beat COVID right? To think about beating COVID to some may be unthinkable and unattainable but to me it was attainable and very possible and now it is a story that I will share with my future grandchildren. I can see it now sitting in my easy chair and my future grandchildren sittingContinue reading “Light at the End of COVID Valley”

Through I walk through the valley of shadow and death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. As I looked at the number on my phone I knew that it was the on call doctor calling me back. Hello Anthony, this is the on-call physician I wanted to let you know yourContinue reading “Traveling through COVID Valley”

This is a statement that never dreamed that I would say but yet I am saying it today as I write about my experience with COVID. This is part of the adventure and part of my journey along the Kidney Trails.  I remember being at work one day and hearing COVID. It is a wordContinue reading “I am a kidney transplant patient, and I had COVID.”

Fall was here and I was still waiting, hoping that some miracle would happen. Maybe my kidneys would regain function and I would not have to do dialysis. I know what the doctor said that I was ESRD and my kidneys would not regain function but still was anything possibly or maybe I would getContinue reading “Dialysis, Drawing and Motivational Talks….”
