Can’t Pee? The Truth About Life on Dialysis
In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what really happens while waiting for a kidney transplant. Many people don’t realize that dialysis often means you stop urinating altogether—and how that simple loss can change everything. I share what it’s like to live in that waiting space, why so many die before getting their call, and how others can help bridge the gap. This isn’t just about kidneys; it’s about compassion, awareness, and action.
If you’ve ever wondered how to increase your chances of getting a kidney—or how you can help someone who’s waiting—this episode is for you.
