The Real Reason this E-Book was written...
For over 30 years, I stood beside dialysis patients—not just as a hemodialysis technician, but as a witness to their quiet battles, their fears, and their courage. I’ve seen the toll those first 90 days can take: the exhaustion, the confusion, the emotional weight that often goes unspoken. And I’ve seen how a little guidance, a little reassurance, can make all the difference. This e-book was born from those moments. It’s my way of reaching out to anyone who’s just beginning this journey, feeling overwhelmed and unsure. I wrote it for the patients I’ve cared for, the ones who didn’t know what questions to ask, and for those who just needed someone to say, “You’re going to be okay". This e-book was born from decades of firsthand experience. I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what truly helps patients not just survive—but find hope again. My mission now is to pass on that knowledge, to offer a lifeline to anyone feeling overwhelmed by their new reality. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or loved one, this guide is my way of saying: you’re not alone, and you can get through this. I created this guide to offer comfort, clarity, and hope to those who need it most. If you’re in your first weeks of treatment, know this: you’re not alone. There’s a path forward, and I’m here to help you find it.
