It's time I put out my reminder to all of my readers that this blog illustrates my individual struggle against Polycystic Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Failure.
How anyone does in their own treatment is NOT indicative of the things I am doing. This blog only highlights the treatments, tests, procedures and everyday struggles that I go through.
Similar patients, under similar circumstances may react differently to tests and treatments than I do. This is also very true of the individual plan that your physician deems is right for you.
Please, follow the recommendations, tests and treatments that your doctor prescribes. Only he/she can determine the best care plan for you!
I do encourage you to educate yourselves about the things you are going through. Ask plenty of questions whenever you think of them! Understand the tests, procedures, expected outcomes, etc. before you go in to any treatment, surgery, test, etc. It is within your patient rights to question, understand and educate yourself about what you are going through! So ask!!! LOTS of questions!

About Me
- It's As I See It
- I am an amateur historian who loves to study early US history and the founding of our Country. I also delve into Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Scandinavian and Mongolian histories, and occasionally dabble with Japanese and Chinese histories, as well as the archaeology of the pre-Columbian Americas. Besides history,I love to study Astronomy, Political Science, Medicine, and many other areas besides. Amongst my personal activities of interest are Hiking, Outdoor Photography, Golf, Baseball, and Writing.
