About
My name is Kathy Alter. Until Nov. 1, 2008, I was a Web content editor at GazetteOnline in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
After over a decade as a Type II diabetic, my kidneys gave up the ghost in early 2007. 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.
Things can change so quickly.
In January 2008, I began having problems with my right leg and foot that ended in the fall with 3 operations within a month and the eventual amputation of my right leg below the knee.
In June, a flood raged through Cedar Rapids and destroyed our apartment and all our belongings.
It has been and still is quite a trip and quite a learning experience. I hope to let readers into my world and maybe help other kidney patients find some answers to common and some uncommon problems.
To start at the beginning, read from the bottom up.

Kathy,
I googled for diabetic/renal recipes and came across your site. Wow. How ironic that your tragedy was my uplift for the day. Please let me explain: I have just returned from Orange County Calif. to help take care of my mother who also suffers from Diabetes and renal failure. She is a “newbie” to dialysis, and it has been a real eye opener to her as well as her four children, myself included. Having been out there two weeks, I got to meet all her doctors, the dialysis techs and my mom’s new group of best friends who also await their turn for their life-saving “cleanse.” I came home depressed because I know what lies in store for my mother until I read your blog. My spirits lifted because you are still in the game, an altered version, but yet still in and fighting. Unfortunately, my mom is not techno-savvy so she will not be able to read your entries, but I will notify my siblings of your website and they can print them out for her. Thank you so much for your courage and determination. It’s awesome how you incorporate your God-given talent for writing to enlighten others on this subject. Again, many thanks..
