The Difference

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

- Helen Keller

• I painted several different rooms in our home.
• I play tennis once a week with my good friend Bart.
• I throw Margarita parties and we play Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
• I BBQ, mow the lawn, rock out on PlayStation 3 Rock Band.
• I run a small business from my home in addition to working a full time job in corporate America.
• Chris and I traveled to Oregon in May. I spent an afternoon at a dialysis clinic that was pre-arranged by the lovely Rosemarie in Salt Lake City, Utah.
• I drive a manual transmission car.
• I walk on a treadmill.
• I socialize.
• I watch movies, I read books, I write blogs.
• I make mix CD's.
• I create song remixes.
• I spend time with friends and loved ones.

In other words, I do everything I was doing before my kidneys failed. Dialysis doesn't hold me back, it only makes me stronger.
