Throughout this book that I was writing I thought of so many people that I was introduced to during my journey with the battle of kidney disease.

I thought about all the nurses and patients that gave their sacrifice to keep going and do their job. Far as the nurses go, I know they gave a lot of commitment to see that everyone kept their spirits up and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Each day they greeted you with a smile and made sure you followed the guidelines that were stated to you and them.

The patients handled the situation the best they could

and we always tried to get along with each other and the staff. We were always somewhat entertained and aware of what was going on with our surroundings and us in the facility. This was especially noted when there was once in a while a storm or maybe a power failure. We all worked together to make sure everything still went as planned for everyone.

Thus, what I expect from each one of you that reads my book

is to think of the book being helpful and aware of how things are for some kidney patients. I expect all kinds of emotions before and after you have read this book. I also expect that if I can at least reach one person, then I know that life has its ups and downs in all parts of life.

Far as something about me goes

I never gave up on any situation that I had to overcome and I always kept laughter in my heart. The people around me kept my spirits up with laughter and joy so that I did not always think about my predicament.
