The Most Important Thing I have Learned

[Stacy Without An E]

I've learned that whenever someone asks me how I feel,I  simply say, "Fine."  I can't take that look of eyes glazing over when I tell them how I'm actually feeling.

I've learned that when women learn of my condition, I'm considered "damaged goods."

I've learned that hope shrinks the longer you have to wait for a kidney transplant.

I've learned that "broke" and "Dialysis" go hand in hand.

I've learned that no matter how bad you think you have it, someone always has it worse.

I've learned the only people I can truly depend on are my family.  "Friends" evaporate the longer you endure treatment.

I've learned that I have a fetish for beautiful women in scrubs.

So many things really but especially to try and be gentle with others, even when we don't feel like it because we never ever know what struggles people are facing.    Even though I KNOW this I'm too often guilty of forgetting in the moment.
