I'm not calling you out. I have some understanding where your coming from. All I'm saying is, quit that shit about "what the Dr. said". Take it for what is worth... you got chin checked. That's all. And either you can rub your head in disbelief or you can spit that shit right back. Personally, it took me a minute to believe it was happening to me. But then, I got too pissed off to accept "what the Dr. told me". I promised myself that I'd push beyond the 5 hr treatment sessions. And then the 4 failed attempts to place catheters/grafts. And I would stay consistent on the diet. Eventually I learned to do my own hemodialysis (it takes some time). But now I have a tiny bit of control over my life.

It's your choice. And you can choose to be a victim or you can choose to be a badass. Me? I'm gonna go down swinging. In the meantime, I'm gonna love my family and friends like there's no tomorrow. And I'm gonna continually challenge people like you. You served our country, you know sacrifice. So I'm telling you to raise you fist once again, and once you do that, you'll regain your perspective. Never accept what they tell you. It's your job to show them that your are the exception to the rule.

Sorry of I got a little too preachy. But I hope when I'm down, that someone bitch slaps the hell out of me. I hope they make me mad as hell. Because if I'm too busy fighting, then I'll never have time to give up.
