I still continued to work and produce and host my TV shows while on dialysis, but it was very difficult. I could only work on the days before my evening sessions. The day following my dialysis session I was too weak to get out of bed.
There are some dialysis patients who can have a normal lifestyle without the "down time" I had to have. Some people just have a harder time with it. For some reason it just knocked me out. And that had a big impact on everyone including my family, my company, my advertisers.
It just saddens me that you would use this hardship as a taunt.
