Sick. Ill. Disease.

I've been reading some other blogs and a lot of people write "chronically ill" or I'm sick" or "my disease", there a bunch of other but you get the idea.  I personally don't feel sick, ill and especially not diseased!  When I think of diseased I think of someone who's contagious and i am pretty sure I have not shared my kidney failure with anyone. 

I prefer to think of myself as broken. Like a broken, toy...get some glue and its all better. Or a broken little red wagon....slap that wheel back on and everything's better.  I just need to get a new part.  Like a car!!!!

I need a new " fuel pump" so I can "go" again! 

Ha ha ha!!!

Finally Friday

Its Friday!!! Week 4(!) Of dialysis. I actually look forward to the weekends now, even if its mostly cleaning and laundry.  In some weird way I enjoy the energy I have now to do the cleaning and the laundry.  Its scary to walk across the room and get winded. And I had now idea how bad I felt until I started to feel better. 

Now that I'm up to week 4 and have some energy, I want to do something with it.  So, i'm going to do a photo-a-day challenge during ALL the years of dialysis.  I'll try to post them here but you can always follow me at Instagram at kidneykate
