When Life Gives You More Than You Can Stand

I just learned in the past week that my kidneys are failing. Years of fighting back from injuries and the resulting arthritis have allowed doctors to prescribe too many NSAIDS, or anit-inflamatories. My kidney function is very low. I have been told the kidneys do not heal as the liver does. We are hopeful for improvement through changes to lifestyle and nutrition.

You know I do not know a single person I would ask for a kidney from. I would be the first to give one, but that is by my choice. I am going to have to regroup and go in another direction in life. I will still be writing on my blog, making jewelry and of course taking my camera everywhere I go.

I will just step lightly, for we are here but such a short time. Perhaps my time has come. I hope not, I have so much to do in life still. I am married to the man of my dreams and I love him so much. I have three of the most talented, articulate daughters any mother could ever ask for, and they have given me grandchildren.

For now, I will wait, watch and kneel.
