Who Am I?

I have been a registered nurse for 43 years. I have managed my genetic disorder for 43 years with diet and exercise. I am now on dialysis

My Interests:

I enjoy volunteering at the local food pantry, church and other local organizations. I enjoy making comfort shawls for the needy.

My Diagnosis:

Chronic kidney disease stage 5

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

A kidney transplant will allow more time to spend with my husband as transplant increases longevity. A transplant will allow me to continue to volunteer with more stamina as dialysis is very physically draining.

My Blood Type: O
