    • Interests

      scrapbooking, cooking, flower gardening, shark's tooth hunting, the Oakland Raiders, fishing, encouraging new dialysis patients, singing I LOVE music. Dierks Bentley is my favorite artist. I met him last year and he is the nicest guy. Yes, I think he is beautiful but, shall we keep one thing in mind? I am a lesbian. I was married for 10 years and in an abusive relationship. Men do NOT interest me. I am happily married to the love of my life. Her name is Ronnie and she is everything I have ever dreamt of. I have ESRD(End Stage Renal Disease). I am a hemodialysis patient and thank God every day foe this life saving treatment. I have been on dialysis for a lil over 3 years. People really freak out when they see my access for treatment, then, when they find out that all my blood is taken out by a needle, cleaned, and returned to me via another needle each treatment. No, they don't take the needles out during the session, I don't think it's work that way. I'll be happy to answer any questions, just ask. By the way, thank God for the life you have.

    • Open Arteriosclerosis

      I am 42 yrs old. I was diagnosed with intermittant claudication in 2005. I thought I had hurt my back. The pain became so intense that I did good to walk from the couch to the bed. My left hip burned and hurt so badly I could barely deal with the pain. The more I moved, the more it hurt. I have since then, quit smoking, due to a surgeon who had no graveside manner at all. I'm going next month for a surgery to cut scar tissue out of my arteries. Already had a bypass on both legs.
