In the height of a flare up it is hard to remember this simple truth. Flares for me can last days or last weeks and I constantly battle with the thoughts that this is just me now and it will never ease. I beg with some higher power to just take me back to my normal state of illness. .
.
It does pass and although We will never feel ‘normal’ We won’t always feel quite as shit as we do during this time.
I celebrated my 6th anniversary of double-organ transplantation yesterday (June 1st) and am so very grateful for the gifts of life I received. My "new" kidney and pancreas are doing well and that's all I could hope for at this time.
.
As I laid on the operating table in 2013, I commanded my spirit to make it through the surgery. I knew I had more work to do in this world and it wasn't my time to go. I had a daughter to raise and knew my purpose was strong. I promised myself that, when I made it through surgery, I would do everything I could in this world to make a difference, be a good person, and love others through acts of kindness.
.
Here I am-- thanks to my donor -- living, loving, and doing the best I can with no regrets. I'm so very grateful for every opportunity, for every person I meet, and for every lesson learned. Thank you, universe! Thank you, friends and family! Thanks to all of you, near and far, for being a part of my journey!

Jonathan is 23 years #kidneystrong! Jonathan was born with vesicoureteral reflux, which is a condition in which urine flows backward from the bladder to one or both ureters and sometimes to the kidneys. This causes infections, which ultimately damage the kidneys if not corrected. He was on #dialysis for two years before his kidney transplant in 1996 when he was 13 years old. Congratulations, Jonathan!

-2 month ✔️up. Medications stopped, kidney function even better. God is so good. Life is full of ups and downs. No matter what you are going through at the moment, you are strong enough to overcome anything. After every storm the sun always shines again and it is so worth it. #kidneytransplant #kidneydisease #healing #health #wellness #organdonation #donatelife #organtransplant #ckd #stanfordhealthcare #positivity #inspiration #inspire #hope #godisgood #faith
I am very happy to announce that I have been one of the chosen to dance in the Kidney Foundation of Chattanooga’s “Dare to Dance” event in October! Not to mention, I was teamed with the best partner ever with Nelson Rodriguez! Over the next couple of months, I will be collecting donations for my chosen charity which is the Emergency Medication Program. All of the proceeds collected go towards this cause. As many of you know, I am a nurse, and taking care of patients is my life. I could not be more touched to be a part of this amazing cause. To donate, click on the link in my bio! Every penny counts and is greatly appreciated! I’m excited to share this journey with all of you! ❤️❤️ #chattanooga #kidneydisease #charity #love #noogagram
There is not enough people talking about or helping support those with invisible illnesses and disabilities outside of the community that are suffering. It seems to me we don’t have many allies at the moment.

I did not choose to be my own advocate. It was something that I had to be and a task I don’t know if I want. When you are chronically ill the exhausting and stressful task of being your own advocate everyday is one that can just really weigh heavy and make you even sicker. Trying to speak coherently about your needs through a haze of fatigue, pain and other disorientating symptoms is a challenge in itself. But when the world in general doesn’t know about your illness or the care you need and you are without a carer/family member/partner you are left to get through daily life on your own. .
.
I was chatting to @lilguerrera about my feelings on advocating for myself and she pointed out how difficult it is to be enthusiastic about advocating for something you never wanted. It doesn’t help that we are made to feel so shamed and guilty for having these illnesses by society and offered such little support. .
.
I do have this need in me though to keep speaking up and keep pushing (when I can) to add to the changes we are all trying to bring. So that in the future people like us won’t have to advocate for themselves as much as we do! Hopefully in the future we will get the respect we deserve. I like the idea that we are each advocating for ourselves but as a result we are all helping each other.

I was not expecting this. .
.
When I planned this trip, it was with the understanding I could not go up. That part of my life was no longer possible. Over the past year we’ve put in plenty of miles, but those were all flat. And as I planned this odyssey, I planned stops along the way where Samwise and Emily could walk freely sans leash. But all those planned trail walks were also flat.
.
.
But a funny things has taken place. We’ve started going up. So far there is no dizziness. No passing out—as was the case each time I tried to go up since my hospitalization in the spring of 2016.
.
.
Now mind you, the trails out West do indeed go up, but they are not rugged in the least bit. Nothing like the trails in the Adirondacks or the Whites. Still though, up is up.
.
.
We’ve been going up nearly every day on this trip, other than our beach days. This confounds and astounds me. .
.
So while these 55 days have given the three of us a multitude of gifts, it offers me something even more rewarding. It offers me hope that the life I loved and was taken from me, may very well be possible again.
.
.
Today’s woodland walk was our toughest test yet, and it went swimmingly.
. .
.
Onward, by all means.
