  4. Face (kinda) reveal, lol. This horse artist is currently undergoing dialysis, woo! Second time tonight and it's going surprisingly well.

    For those who don't know me well, I am an ESRD (End stage renal disease) patient whose kidneys have failed. I have to do dialysis 3x a week now, but the good news is that it has a significantly positive effect and is keeping me alive.

    I'm working to get onto the kidney transplant list, and I'm hoping to find a living donor that will allow me to function normally in the world again. Until then, travel and life is on hold while I undergo dialysis and do my best to survive.

    Thanks so much to all my friends and family who make this fight possible, I love each and every one of you.
