I honestly am not sure how to make this a question.

I was born and raised Catholic, and while I am no longer Catholic, I still feel an immense amount of fondness for the Catholic Church’s particular approach to understanding the divine. However, as a lesbian, I just don’t see a space for myself. I understand that the Church’s stance is that we are welcome, with celibacy as the only option. Romantic love, intimacy, and family are deeply important to me, and I can’t accept the idea that these would be sinful or evil for me to pursue with someone I love.

How would you respond to that sentiment?

Does your illness feel like anything in particular? What about the dialysis?

Do you have any advice (from the perspective of a patient) for someone going into nursing/healthcare?

I am currently in nursing school, and I have become more and more curious about how the patient experiences their disease and treatment. I am learning all about the biological underpinnings of disease and about all sorts of interventions we can perform, but I have a hard time finding anything about what diseases are like for the people experiencing them.

What does your heart rate look like on a triathalon like this?
