Being on a low to no sodium diet sucks when so many things are filled with salt. Getting creative with the food in home cooking and what can get while eating out has been a challenge. Doable but still a challenge. #dialysisbear #dialysislife

Crazy how i am coming up on four months doing the dialysis. I have been keeping well on eating and exercising. Going to get the chest catheter out of me soon and that will be a very freeing moment. #dialysislife #dialysisbear

What I endure 3x a week for 4hrs—1 to 2L of blood is removed to prevent toxic buildup and keep me alive. This is life with End-Stage Kidney Disease. #ESKD #DialysisLife #ChronicIllness

One, comedy is hard AF to draw, and I consider myself funny.
Two, this ridiculous thing was harder to draw than that damn horse.
Anyway, when life gives you lemons, apparently you draw a man scratching his balls through a torn pocket.

🎄 Dialysis patients, let’s celebrate the festive season! Protein is vital for us, and we’re ready to enjoy holiday feasts. While mindful of phosphate levels, we’re well-educated on how to manage them with phosphate binders. Happy, healthy holidays! 🥂✨ #KidneyHealth #DialysisLife #InvisibleDisability
