Dialysis

while in Sacramento my Cousin Kendra Had to have Dialysis so I jumped at the chance to spend some time with her ! it would take just over 3 hours this time and it was a fast one this time usually takes thew more hours. While I was growing up we lived in the same neighborhood as us. She is younger then me, but her older sister Heidi and me spent a lot of time together.
She has juvenile Diabetes she was diagnosed when she was 8 and back then I remember going to the hospital and pushing her up and down the hallways Chet her little bro and his wife Treasa drove us. we had a good visit but more then that we played cards! to make the time go by faster.
I have to give props to Kendra she has to do this 3 times a weak ! this has been going on for year and half I think she is amazing she has a great out look on life I can learn a lot from her.

Is that your big gulp in the sitting on the table?

What a trooper! Three times a week is intense (and I am not a big fan of needles!) You were great for going with her to keep her company! Hey--when are you going to post pics of the crafts you made up in GV? Your fans are waiting!
