My medical labs weren’t good today. Kidney is failing faster (stage 5 kidney failure GFR 15), and my energy isn’t super high. These results sum up this year for me in a sense. I was forced out of my job because of my health and employer retaliation due to this. I went back to

Why anyone listens to Codie is beyond me. When life hits you (and it will), the last thing on your mind is your work. Enjoy the pottery, enjoy the pickleball, cherish the laughs with friends, the early morning bike ride or golf round. What a grifter. Twitter is so full of these

This is the worst take I’ve ever seen. It makes me so angry My wife works in oncology. A lot of her patients die The heartbreaking cases are in their 40-50s. They share their regrets, what they’d do differently. They cry You know what they never say? “I wish I’d worked more”

Some big news today, my dad was approved for paired donation! I won’t be receiving his kidney, but someone else will. What that means: living kidney donors are swapped for the best possible outcomes for their recipients. I’m beyond grateful for my parents and their sacrifices 🙏

@Clubhouse Don’t give energy to toxic people. Keep up regular exercise. Learn how to cook. Begin to understand financial literacy. Read more. Spend more time outdoors. Spend less on material goods. Forgive grudges. Celebrate your friend’s wins. Pick up a hobby, a long term project, a goal.
