Krissi Bates-Billings grew up in rural southeastern Colorado on her family’s fourth-generation crop farm. Geek tech (not including tractors and hay-balers) was in very short supply “in the sticks,” but Krissi was lucky enough to have a computer in her home. She began her path toward being a future geek when she taught herself Basic on her dad’s Tandy TRS-80.
I’m wondering if anyone who reads my blog takes Lyrica for Fibromyalgia? I was once diagnosed with Fibro, although I have always questioned it (mostly because some symptoms like chronic fatigue/pain are similar to the general effects of CKD/ESRD).
What? Celebrating Earth Day and National Donate Life Month, together? Am I out of my mind? How could one possibly draw a connection between the two? Here’s your answer…
I’m expanding My Kidney Blog (mykidney.com) by adding forums and additional bloggers to the site.
I’m interested in bringing 1 – 4 bloggers on board who are in various stages of CKD, ESRD, pre/post transplant. Living organ donor bloggers would also be considered and ESRD bloggers who have chosen different dialysis modalities for renal replacement are needed.
The Krississippi (dot) com blog post category that represents the absolutely unquestionable most important aspect of my life is “I’m a Kidney Transplant Recipient“. That’s right, you read that correctly – I have only one functioning kidney and it happened to be inside my brother for the first 28 years of it’s existence.
I'm a traveler of places & an adventurer of emotions. I converse with the world through social media & communicate with humankind through open-mindedness. I advocate for what I believe is right & embrace possibitarianism. I'm an optimistic realist & I learn more about myself the more I understand about others. I'm a giver of endless second chances & the wearer of a shirt-sleeve heart. I'm a reveler in chaos & I love my own idealistic, unwavering hopefulness that one day I'll figure myself out.
In my life I've been 180° and back again & I'm ever-aware of what I have yet to learn...
