Summary
How do you react when you're diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes at the age of 5? What do you feel when you become disabled at 32? What do you do when you face kidney failure and want to do the necessary dialysis treatments at home? Where do you start when you need a transplant? And how do you cope with all those events? And what if you're the friend or family member wanting to help this person? The Road to Kidneyville addresses all those questions and more, in a personal account written by the patient's wife, with input from the patient himself, Larry Crain. She shares their emotional roller-coaster ride of life with diabetes, an honest view of hemodialysis at home, and the challenges of getting on the list (and staying there!) for a kidney transplant. This is a candid account of real life and a couple truly dedicated to each other.
