Interview segments posted

My friends John, Kerry and Patrick helped me create and post these short segments of an interview mother and I taped in February. The files are set up for Windows Media Player streaming.

Part One: PKD and the Florine family
The first diagnosis, the loss of her mother and the impact on her brothers and sisters

Part Two: Pat is diagnosed with PKD
Being tested before having kids, dealing with the diagnosis, the tendency towards denial and the unbelievable comments of a medical student

Part Three: Dialysis then a transplant
Dialysis experience, the transplant list, the donor and others who benefited, the donor was a perfect match “it was as though he were like my son”

A list of goals written in hope of a kidney transplant, what she’s accomplished, she monitors her health and volunteers for organ transplant awareness

Part Five: Work with the blind and visually impaired
Pat worked to develop mobility skills for visually impaired adults, she describes the work and the clients

Part Six: For PKD research and organ donation
