  1. 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.

  2. Organ Transplant Patients Can Die When Donors Aren't Screened for This Parasitic Disease
    ==

    Bob Naedele died after receiving a heart from a donor with Chagas disease.

    His death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested. The group that governs U.S. transplant policies is considering mandatory screening of at-risk donors.

  3. Unadjusted Creatinine Hinders Females to Get New Liver

    - Standard mathematical conversion of #creatinine disadvantages females in liver transplantation prioritization

    - We investigated options to reduce this gender inequality

    - We identified 72 of 650 (11%) females with an original #MELD score < 20, for whom the adjusted female-as-male MELD score would be >20, thus giving them a better chance to receive a #Liver #Transplant

  7. Because it will soon be the time to start #seeds #indoors, I wanted to share my #PottingMix recipe for #seedlings:
    #worm casting 1 volume
    #compost 1 volume
    #garden soil 1 volume

    The #vermicast keeps the mixture moist and helps the #seed germinate faster.
    The compost is made with more #carbon and #WoodChips to give a good texture
    The garden #soil helps the #seedling not have a #transplant issues.
