Diary of a Kidney Warrior

Kidney Warrior Chronicles. Being a Kidney Patient in being in the hospital waiting area on a Saturday for HOURS in pain and not knowing when you are going to see a doctor and hating every second of it. Being a Kidney Warrior is knowing it’s ok to feel this way and telling myself I will pick myself up from this. #diaryofakidneywarrior #kidneywarrior #ckd
