    About Me

    I am 30 years old with a mild form of cerebral palsy with a learning disablity. I'm am battling with a kidney scarring disease that destroyed both of my kidneys and I have been on dialysis for four years. I have pulmonary edema. I take about 35-40 pills a day. I get tired easily and get nauseous easily. I can't produce any urine. I'm also on a kidney tranplant list. I live with my parents. I have a brother who is scizophrenic. I don't have hardly any friends and not much of a social life. I get depressed not having much normal life. Please don't send me any chain letters because they frustrate me making me feeling like I have to send them to people when I don't feel good most of the time.

    Interests

    I like listening Christian music, Light Rock, Easily Listening and Country. I guess it depends apon what mood I'm in to what I feel like listening to. I like pets. I have a black and white cat and her name is Mandy. I have a one year old beagle named Daisy. I like bird watching. I like computer games. I like the Sims2 game packs. I like Nancy Drew computer games. I like reading, writing and enjoy e-mail. I also like watching movies and listening to Christian music dvds. I enjoy making cards.

      It sure does get old. I know what you mean. Yesterday I got a shot in my knee. Today is dialysis. Tomorrow I go to the chriopractor. Thursday is dialysis. Friday the chripracor. Saturday is dialysis. More of the same next week. My primary doctor wants to see me to for a followup from my hospital stay. When I can do that who knows? Try to get a bit of rest.
