Living With Kidney Disease

[PersilBunnies]

I always have high amounts of protein in my urine, my trasnplant isnt as good as it was, but its stable and just plodding on ok - im not at the stage of needing or considering a second transplant, put it that way. Does protein in the urine always mean that your transplant is struggling?

I didn't hear most of that because I had my hands over my ears and was singing, but I did hear that you still don't have a web cam. Tell me what kind you want and where to send it. . . . Just kidding about not hearing --- I heard every word and love you, my brave, beautiful, articlulate friend. xoxo

"live a happy life, you're body shows it" True That. Thanks! I needed to remember that!

[kyndsister]

Gorgeous, Beautiful, Fabulous & Sweetness! I am so very glad to see you & hear you once again!! I have though about you and your lovely family so often! *doing the Gina Happy Dance*

I am bummed over your trials & tribulations. You are looking really lovely & your attitude is always, an inspiration. Blessed Be, Beauty!

PS - LOVE the bangs!

[Illuminatta]

Thanks so much for explaining that. I really look forward to seeing more of you again!! XXXOOO

You have a beautiful attitude. I only have the smallest taste of what you endured and it was scary until I came to peace. I think knowing that my life expectancy is shorter than what I had originally thought has made me desire to really live the life I have. I pray you shock all the doctors with the longevity of this kidney. You are a valuable person.

"Adversity gives birth to greatness. The greater the challenges and difficulties we face, the greater opportunity we have to grow and develop as people. A life without adversity, a life of ease and comfort, produces nothing and leaves us with nothing. This is one of the indisputable facts of life." - Daisaku Ikeda

GREAT positive attitude! We need more of that, especially those of us living with chronic illness. GREAT to see you here today, and nothing wrong with slowing down!!! Look forward to hearing from you more! Take care and Hugs, Martha

((Hello Gina)) It's lovely to see you again :). I don't have myspace any more but I do have twitter. I'll message you my twitter name.

Look after yourself sweetheart xxx

I haven't been keeping up with my social networking as much as I used to do. It was only because I had a "YouTube Digest" email that I'm here now. I'm sorry that things have not been great for you, but I am always amazed at how you keep smiling through adversity. You inspire me, because I too am having health issues that are not going away anytime soon. It's good to see you again, Gina, and I wish you the best of health, of course.

[RobNorthampton]

(It was only after seeing this vid that I realised I hadn't seen you on Facebook either. Did you delete your account? I wouldn't blame you. I just wondered, that's all) Best wishes and big hugs! xxx

I love you Gina ! I think we are all afraid to actually verbalize our health issues/worries, when in actual fact, I believe the universe needs to hear what we want and need. All any of us can do is live each moment to the fullest, be grateful -as you are, and just breathe. hugs, Chris

Gina, you're doing a great job of living and thriving with your disease... You have the courage to live a happy life in spite of it, and you inspire me to be more positive with my health issues. Thanks for the update! I admire your no-nonsense approach.

[billyinc1]

Thank You Gina for the update on Your condition; hate to hear that Your kidney is leaking protein. At the same time it is nice to know that You are feeling fine and You are not going to have to more surgery real soon.

I can empathize with You @ age 31 I was diagnosed with diabetes, 17 yrs later had a quad-bypass, 7 yrs later a heart-attack, 1 yr later leg bypass & stint and a yr later 2007 carotid artery surgery, I have never been really concerned because when God says it is time it will be.:)

[jennfriedman]

Gina!!!! Oh no, I removed my frist comment by mistake!!! I wrote how amazing I thought you were!!! Now all that is showing up is a typing correction that I made. Awwww Gina I LOVE you and your videos and am so proud of you!! You're always so inspiring!!!! That is what I wanted to say and I'm sorry that its a bunch of hours late. Much much love. <3

[PaintedRavensong]

I can't express enough how amazingly blessed that my life is just for having you in it. You help me keep a perspective that only you can. You have the most amazing attitude about things and I know that it's really the only way you CAN look at all of it. Thank you for being the most wonderful person that you are. Love you!!!

[gedemondas347]

Wishing you all the best.

[gabrielized]

Take Care, Gina, all will be well.

[ItalianStallionette]

@gabrielized Thank you so much .... :):)

[Rizzolification]

YAY! More vlogging from Gina! Me love!

[Rizzolification]

You need to talk about it because even though you think that the negative stuff you think about will come to fruition if you think about it, don't downplay the positive. You have mentioned plenty of the positive. Positive is substantial, negative is insubstantial. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo­xo

[ItalianStallionette]

@Rizzolification You make some great points B. Will you be making anymore vlogs about your life, or are you just working on fanvlogs for now?

[Rizzolification]

@ItalianStallionette for now just fanvlogs. But I will begin to vlog about other things in a few months or so.
