Dialysis
just to vent
Black friday. dialysis today. feeling. eh, still having bladder pain/urge to urinate but nothing expels or produces. my apologies for the details but i want to share with folks these new symptoms and that its has its tough moments, i continue to press on, i have moments of feeling crappy and it sucks that they happen more often lately. Its my pity party or what one of my friends called it an honest reflection. Not every day is it going to be puppy dogs and ice cream. These days its just leaning to press on and share my authenticity and my journey. You all have been simply wonderful with messages and sending funnies and just helping me keep my spirits up. For that I am so appreciative of it. My family has been simply amazing Tamiera Ware Joshua Ware Zander, Abby has even helped even though i dont see her every single day. It takes a village. I am learning to lean in to these tough days/weeks and know there is ligh at the end of this tunnel and my journey will continue on! Full of gratitide for you all. Keep coming back!

@Berriosa1234 I felt the same the day we spoke and although my physical issues were minor compared to yours I think I know how you felt. I have tried to understand these feelings but they are hard to explain. I sometimes just feel angry at the world for making me sick and vulnerable when all I want is to wake up and go about life the way I believe most people do. Then I think further and acknowledge that everyone has issues. No one is perfect and who am I to complain. But I do need it sometimes - complaining that is. My worst moments are when I feel sorry for myself and overcompensate in trying harder. Maybe those are the times I should slow down and ask for help. Or connect with peers.
