Today we started living differently.

I printed up tons of information on the Chronic Kidney Disease and what you should eat and shouldn't eat. So tonight, I made our first dinner that was actually good for Shannon. It wasn't too bad. Needed salt, but she can't have salt, so we're going to learn to live without it. Rod and I could pay to follow this diet too.

I ordered two books off Amazon. One is 12 steps of living with Kidney Disease and the other is cooking for someone with kidney disease. So I'm anxious to see what they say. It'll be nice to have a cookbook where I won't have to look every single thing up that I'm making. :)

Shannon is continuing to be upbeat about it. Shocked at first, but doing better now. So, we're going to tackle this head on and give Shannon a fighting chance. Go us. LOL

Have a great rest of the week, everyone.

Hugs, Patt
