Guest Speaker

On Friday the 10th our class had a teacher named Tina came and talk to our class about kidney transplants. In the past 25 years she as had 3 different transplants, and this all started when she was diagnosed with Lupus disease in 86'. Lupus is an autoimmune disorder and it effects organ systems, skin, joints, and internal organs. Basically it trys to fix your body when it doesn't need fixing. Since her last transplant, she has been doing good and she is very active in road biking and other outdoor activities. Hearing her speak was a real eye opener to how hard it is on your body and how hard it is emotionally to go through a kidney transplant.
