      My name is Lizabeth. I was born with bilateral dysplastic kidney disease. They just didnt form. When i was 13 i was put on PD and stayed on that till i was 19y/o. it's been an experience..like a roller coaster up and down. Ive had hemorrhaging ovarian cysts (15) , scoliosis (as of 9y/o), osteopnea (18y/o) arthritis and so on..I am thankful im still alive and i love being in nursing school. i have two degrees one in Cardiovascular Technology, and EMT and i have one more year left in nursing!!
