About
My name is Kathy Alter. I’m a Web content editor/News director at GazetteOnline in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
After over a decade as a Type II diabetic, my kidneys gave up the ghost early last year. I began hemodialysis March 17 and by June had decided I wanted to try for a kidney transplant while my health — for an End Stage Renal Disease patient — was still relatively good.
This is quite a trip and quite a learning experience. I hope to let readers into my new world and maybe help other kidney patients find some answers to common problems.
To start at the beginning, read from the bottom up.

Attn: Kathy Alter.
Read your blog today. I’m in Columbus OH but grew up in Cascade, IA, an hour or so east of Cedar Rapids. My dad lives alone in Cascade now & is in his mid-seventies and is a retired general physician.
I sincerely hope that you can find someone in your area to take out the trash for you throughout the rest of this icy weather. Take care - - I’m pulling for you!
