"Here is a video of what I used to look like when I was without kidney disease. Um, kidney disease has taken so much from me. It took away my good health, it took away my memory, it took away my weight, it took away my beauty, it took so much from me. This is what I look like now. Currently, I weigh 58. With this weight, my weight is 58. It has taken so much from me. I can’t even start to mention how much things it has taken away from me. But it is what it is. It took so much weight that my veins are like, really visible. But I can't even... All I can do for myself is to pray for myself. That's all."
