About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
When I was actually diagnosed with ESRD at first I wasn't sure what it was, how long it would last or what my life was going to be like, but I became a Peer Mentor for National Kidney Foundation of Mich and started sharing my personal story and began my out reach. As a young person I was diagnosed with Goodpasture's Syndrome and started dialysis at a very early age (mid teens) so I guess I grew up with learning and educating myself and others regarding kidney disease. I met my husband when I was on dialysis and he has been with me from that end of my life to the other chapters that moved for me. After transplant I have attended many Kidney Events from Advocacy Day in Lansing Michigan to the annual Kidney Ball in Detroit MI. But the thing I love about me is that I am different than my family & friends, I have an incredible story and the best thing is sharing and helping others over come their obstacles. My faith and my love for helping keeps me going. I am currently enrolled in college majoring in Social Work

Books-depends on the mood, but I love Ficton -just finished "The Courage Tree," by Diane Chamberlain-a book of a young girl on dialysis and goes on a camping troop with her girl scouts and ends up missing, it was so good
Favorite Food-Tacos and Icecream (good on the lips so bad on the hips)
I have two dogs Hershey & Shilo-toy poodles
I love to travel -hoping there will be a transplant cruise in the future
What is Your Favorite Quote(s)?
"I'm going through a selfish phase right now"

Kidney Transplant Intro

I just wanted to say Hello to the Transplant Cafe Group, loving that. I am excited about sharing stories, jokes and just inspirational words. I have had 2 kidney transplants and my most recent has lasted 6 years (my brother donated). I am in school studing Social Work, I want to expand my knowlege of kidney disease and just continue to help those that are affected by kidney disease to learn more about it and focus on Prevention. But I am happy to have found a site that I can share my days with.… Continue

How are you woman?! I miss talking to you. I'm back from the World Transplant Games in Australia and had an amazing time! Brought home 2 bronze medals in swimming and 4th in beach volleyball. I'll put some pics up soon. How's life been treating you since you came back from your brothers? Hope to talk soon :)

Thanks Jay, I really needed that today. It was a long weekend. Hope yours went good. I am really try'n to get out of this little funk I've been in lately, I think because I haven't seen my brother in almost 6 years from him donating that I just feel like, I've let him down by not spending so much time in Portland where he is since my transplant. I hope to see him when I go back home to visit next week.
