I have a lot of things to say, today - all relevant to tomorrow. I hope you'll read this and really try to understand what it all means. I feel its important not only to my friends and family, but to others who might be facing the same decisions in the near future.

Its 3:19 AM... and, I'm awake. My pre-op appointment in Tampa is at 8 AM, sharp and here I am, still awake.

Have you ever wondered what happens during one of my dialysis treatments? Recently I spent one treatment taking pictures like a mad woman just so I could show you what goes on. I hope to eventually edit these pictures into a more detailed story to be used on the My Kidney website as a guide for other patients who might be starting dialysis and wonder what it will be like. In the meantime, you can take a look at my Flickr set "A Dialysis Treatment".
