My Kidney Transplant: A Sometimes Serious, Sometimes Not, Collection of Essays

In 2010, I received a kidney transplant from a living donor after being diagnosed with...actually, I don't know. Neither do the doctors. But that doesn't mean I can't use my platform as a writer to tell people about my experience and have a little fun along the way.

This is a collection of essays I wrote before and after my transplant. I published it to educate readers about organ donation, bust myths about transplants, offer some inspiration for those going through the same things I did and show how a good sense of humor can be the best medicine.
