I AM MORE THAN THIS MACHINE.

I AM STRONGER THAN I THINK.

I AM THE DECIDER OF MY FUTURE.

I AM IN CONTROL.

I AM THE SOLDIER AND WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING.

I AM SCARRED BUT BEAUTIFUL.

I AM BRAVE.

I AM UNDERSTANDING.

I AM ALWAYS LISTENING.

I AM LOVING.

I AM INSPIRING.

I AM THE ONE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS "YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS"

I AM ME AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME LIVING.

I AM THE SURVIVER.

I AM TOO, BUT I AM GOING TO WHINE, FIRST. (OK, so that's not particularly uplifting..)

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.
