Life of a Dialysis Patient

I wake up early Monday morning still cold and dark outside eat my breakfast, take my pills sit and wait for my ride, arrive at the center get comfortable in my chair like I do 3 times a week thankful t hat I'm there I come to every treatment I never show up late I eat a healthy diet and watch my fluid intake This isn't the life I chose for me but I have to tell you this I wouldn't be sitting here today if it wasn't for Dialysis.

The final stanza hits home because this treatment really is a lifesaver. we have a friend who is undergoing the same treatment and is awaiting a kidney transplant if a suitable donor can be found. hugs Jan xx
