Well, coincidentally my mother had kidney problems and I was worried for her health ever since I was seven, so I can feel your pain. It was tough for my mother, but she was a true warrior because she did her best to make meals, fix my clothes, and flat out did what every good mother could do.
I thank god that she had a successful kidney transplant on Febuary 14th 2004. Now every Valentine's I make sure I tell my mom I love her despite me being very affectionate to my mom unconditionally haha.
Anyways, I'd like to say I'm glad you're okay and still kicking. It's also kinda cool you're a literature, music, and gaming fan. Regarding music, what do you listen to?
