The Next Big Step

On January 17,2010 I will start another journey on the road to a healthier life. This journey will start at Albany Med in Albany, New York. The end result of this journey will be obtaining a kidney transplant. This is a registration and information seminar that I will be attending, but it is still step one in what I am told is a long process. I am aware of the fact that everyone who registers for a transplant doesn't always get one. Whether I get one or not remains to be seen. For right now I'm doing fine on dialysis and I know that there are people in worse shape than me. This is sort of like learning to walk, small steps and one at a time with a few falls along the way. Life is full of changes and challenges that we all face in one way or another. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy and the fact remains, nobody gets out alive. We just have to do the best with what we have while we are here and enjoy the journey.
