I am now 15 pounds lighter! While dialysis keeps me alive, I would also like to highlight organ donation. While many are familiar with registering on your driver's license, there is also living donation. You can find out more here: www.tohlivingkidneydonation.com

I have a more aggressive form of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) which has led me to having a left, radical open nephrectomy this summer as well as starting dialysis. You can see a picture of my bad, bubbly, bean that they removed (if that's your kind of thing).

It should also be easier to get vaccinated. Without a family doctor, it is very difficult to do as an adult. Many walk-in clinics do not provide vaccination. Public Health units should be providing to all ages, not just children.

Not the first 5, but just wanted to say I love your sketches...and share this guy
