Hi, I'm Tamara 45 years old my friends call me Tammy. I am suffering from End Stage Renal, Congestive heart failure, and have suffered 2 strokes. I currently am still trying to get back to normalcy in day to day life as my wife has to assist me with baths and I have issues with balance and memory. I am in need of a kidney transplant which is very costly. My wife lost her job of 5 years after she was not able to be available due to the care taking of myself. It has been a long, hard, happy, sad, depressed, thankful and blessed journey.
UPDATE: I appreciate the donations and even the ones that hvnt. Bless yall💚💚...you only can masked for so long.I really never took the time and put myself before anyone,just wasn't me. I fell in love with helping anyone that needed me. I loved my job and my clients until physically I wasn't able to perform my job duties. I'd mask the pain by ignoring it,drinking or smoking (weed). Still pushing through daily by this time life itself happened and I ended pressing through the care of my grandfather in law. U would think that was it for me. Not knowing a few years later it would be my own mom that needed care.
Scared as ever I pushed me aside again and promised we rock this together til the wheels come. In the mist of it all my health failed tremendously but I managed to push through the all the emotions from the pressure of dialysis, needing a kidney while in the hospital 2weeks and my mom going home with hospice. Marriage shakey, to feel like u were gonna break but still managed to be there as promised.
After having a stroke in June was more of an eye opener. Slow down, take time for self. When ur going through it, that shows a lot. Most days are horrible but I mange. Absolutely nobody knows how the struggle is REAL daily. Kept you long enough...another 9hrs dialysis
Again thanks for ur support.
