From Dialysis to A Transplant - Vanessa Millman Pt 1

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here!

Who would have thought that a kidney transplant was something that could happen during the pandemic. When Vanessa Millman was first diagnosed (incorrectly as it turns out) with Type 2 Diabetes when she was just a kid, she never in a million years likely dreamed that the path that she would end up on was one that was going to result in her looking for a kidney donor. Join us as we hear Vanessa tell us about the roller coaster ride that were her formative years and the journey that ensued as she looks forward to starting a new chapter with a new kidney - all while we are still in the pandemic and hear her take on what's going on with our medical system.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts - you can find Walking Alongside on Podcast Addict, Podchaser, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Player FM, Tune-In and of course Spotify, Google Player and Apple Podcasts - where if you can leave a comment or throw me some ideas of topics you'd like to hear about, that would be great.

Walking Alongside is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
