Thank you so much for explaining the reason why I need to drink so much water. I drink about 80+ ounces because I exercise so much, but it's not easy. Plus, I'm up half the night in the little girls room. When I know why I have to do something I am…
Me too, I read a one book each Sunday for a month!
I'm glad to hear you're feeling a little lifted up. I was taking a walk with my husband today and telling him that I am just NOW starting to think like a healthy woman again. I was 18 when I was diagnoded with insulin dependent diabetes. Before that…

- Hi Suzanne: How wonderful to meet you. I've lived in Fremont for 45 years and yes we are neighbors. Have you been to any of the Transplant Olympic Games? We would be on the same team; "Team NorCal". Hope you go to the 2010 games that would be great. Look forward to getting to know you and I'll keep in touch. Take care and have a wonderful week ahead.
Hugs, Karen

I received my transplant on June 8, 2002 at UCSF. Pancreas and Kidney!
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 18 and by the time I was 30 I was having a lot of complications as a result of poor diabetes management. At 31 I was total my kidneys were no longer functioning, ended up having to quit work and go on dialysis. I used that time to go back to school and earn my degree. All that time hooked up on dialysis was perfect for getting homework done! I can honestly say that I am so grateful for my experience today, dialysis and all. It all lead me to where I am today, healthy body and a happy spirit. My friends and family supported me through the times I was not so grateful and my path wasn't clear. I'm blessed to have them. There is one person I will never be able to express my gratitude, but I know there is a part of him that will always be with me in more ways than the physical. Enjoy today, it's the only one we can be sure of.
