Are You Kidney Me?!

Meet the people lucky enough to call me family! 

This is a re-upload because I’m a dummy. ENJOY!!! :)

Oh my gosh, you guys, you're gonna need some popcorn for this one. I had so much fun talking with Brandon Mouw this week, another transplant patient!   I mean, different organ but going through the same shit.... We are all of us, in this together!

I can tell you the week(s) leading up to my transplant were filled with anticipatory anxiety. I just learned that that is an actual thing. Anyway, today, we talk about what the morning of the transplant surgery and everything that I experienced before I got my brand new used kidney!

I'm finding a sense of catharsis through reflection and confession in this episode. I find it relieving to relive some of these memories that I've not visited in quite some time. 

Tune into our interview for 9 News on NBC on February 14th, National Donor Day!

Opening up about my open wound and other things I wish I knew were in store for me after the transplant!

I'm back! And after some soul searching... and procrastinating, I've come up with a plan! 

The story of how I met my boyfriend, my kidney donor, my hero, my husband, and the love of my life.. In that order... probably. 

EDIT: I said that our anniversary was tomorrow but when this is posted it will have already passed... doh! Our anniversary is the 27th of September :) 

After an unplanned sabbatical, I'm back! Urging you all to donate your organs... ALL OF THEM!
