Polycystic Kidney Disease has plagued many families throughout the world, including my own. It often leads to kidney failure and a need for dialysis or transplantation. I was diagnosed with PKD at the age of 21 I never envisioned all that I would experience as life moved forward. This will be a journey of humor, sadness, desperation, love, frustration and all other emotions that come with spending a life bound to a machine you learn to love to hate keeping me alive. Blessings

Do you know the signs of sepsis?
Did you know 40% of patients diagnosed with severe sepsis don't survive? I survived my 1st episode of severe sepsis and then my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and then 7th. I've overcome the odds. I lived through them, but most do not. Be aware. Know the signs. Know the symptoms. I am dialysis strong.
