NOTE Confidence: 0.9462684988975525 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.725 So it allowed me to be able to get back NOTE Confidence: 0.9462684988975525 00:01:27.784 --> 00:01:28.560 into my work.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8574151992797852 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.560 And then when you start, my understanding is that the NOTE Confidence: 0.8574151992797852 00:01:36.623 --> 00:01:39.159 beginning of, of PD is a big adjustment. NOTE Confidence: 0.8921492099761963 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.441 One of the beauties I think of this this time NOTE Confidence: 0.8921492099761963 00:01:42.503 --> 00:01:45.510 is that you have a team of professionals that are NOTE Confidence: 0.8921492099761963 00:01:45.571 --> 00:01:47.720 encouraging you, giving you advice.

NOTE Confidence: 0.7346546053886414 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:50.440 Hey, Mr. NOTE Confidence: 0.7873367667198181 00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:51.720 Johnson, how you doing? NOTE Confidence: 0.9463335871696472 00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:54.236 She brings a whole lot of energy to the table NOTE Confidence: 0.9463335871696472 00:01:54.291 --> 00:01:55.320 and I just love it. NOTE Confidence: 0.7977595925331116 00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:57.360 It just it, it fills me with joy. NOTE Confidence: 0.8675600290298462 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.493 When he finally transitioned to PD, we have the pom NOTE Confidence: 0.8675600290298462 00:02:01.572 --> 00:02:05.428 poms, we have banners and it says home sweet home NOTE Confidence: 0.8675600290298462 00:02:05.507 --> 00:02:07.159 and we will miss you. NOTE Confidence: 0.866571843624115 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.152 I felt very happy for Travis because there's no limitations NOTE Confidence: 0.866571843624115 00:02:11.218 --> 00:02:14.172 of all the things he wanted to do, his music, NOTE Confidence: 0.866571843624115 00:02:14.237 --> 00:02:14.959 his family. NOTE Confidence: 0.7286860942840576 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.640 PDA allowed Travis exactly what he needs in his life. NOTE Confidence: 0.8729110360145569 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.640 We wanted to empower the patient. NOTE Confidence: 0.9392907619476318 00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.479 We want to make sure that this becomes part of NOTE Confidence: 0.9392907619476318 00:02:23.536 --> 00:02:26.079 their lifestyle and not take over their life. NOTE Confidence: 0.7865719199180603 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.360 Travis really took the range on this. NOTE Confidence: 0.9108945727348328 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.591 He knew he had this condition and he actually said, NOTE Confidence: 0.9108945727348328 00:02:31.654 --> 00:02:34.758 OK, now I know I have chronic kidney disease, but NOTE Confidence: 0.9108945727348328 00:02:34.822 --> 00:02:37.799 chronic kidney disease is not going to have me. NOTE Confidence: 0.940277636051178 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.602 It's refreshing to know that even going through this situation, NOTE Confidence: 0.940277636051178 00:02:41.662 --> 00:02:44.230 I have everything that I need to be able to NOTE Confidence: 0.940277636051178 00:02:44.290 --> 00:02:46.440 move forward and live a joyful life. NOTE Confidence: 0.9652962684631348 00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:50.531 When someone in the house has kidney disease, there are NOTE Confidence: 0.9652962684631348 00:02:50.603 --> 00:02:53.320 implications for the entire household. NOTE Confidence: 0.9417843818664551 00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:55.803 Give us a little insight as to what goes on NOTE Confidence: 0.9417843818664551 00:02:55.857 --> 00:02:58.181 in your house and and how you make the best NOTE Confidence: 0.9417843818664551 00:02:58.235 --> 00:02:58.560 of it. NOTE Confidence: 0.8839519023895264 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.653 They both asked, you know, of course, how could they NOTE Confidence: 0.8839519023895264 00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:01.959 help? NOTE Confidence: 0.8883665204048157 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.768 And I said, well, a big help to me would NOTE Confidence: 0.8883665204048157 00:03:04.824 --> 00:03:06.680 be bringing these boxes upstairs. NOTE Confidence: 0.8650306463241577 00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:09.794 Now, when they first started with the box, it was NOTE Confidence: 0.8650306463241577 00:03:09.844 --> 00:03:10.399 a struggle. NOTE Confidence: 0.6236230731010437 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.000 I seen them. NOTE Confidence: 0.9023731350898743 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.398 I said, man, I feel sorry for these guys and NOTE Confidence: 0.9023731350898743 00:03:13.452 --> 00:03:15.959 I'm like, well, they did ask what can they do? NOTE Confidence: 0.8607277870178223 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.346 So eventually they went from struggling with those boxes to NOTE Confidence: 0.8607277870178223 00:03:20.403 --> 00:03:22.928 being able to grab the boxes and run them up NOTE Confidence: 0.8607277870178223 00:03:22.986 --> 00:03:23.559 the steps. NOTE Confidence: 0.755098283290863 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.432 Now sometimes I'll be like, I don't want to do NOTE Confidence: 0.755098283290863 00:03:26.494 --> 00:03:28.680 it, but I know I got to do for him. NOTE Confidence: 0.5786187648773193 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.560 Sherry and Travis probably was very well off. NOTE Confidence: 0.8350078463554382 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.808 They needed to see it, see how it worked and NOTE Confidence: 0.8350078463554382 00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:35.240 see that it wasn't scaring. NOTE Confidence: 0.9321873784065247 00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:38.613 She just made me feel a part of the team NOTE Confidence: 0.9321873784065247 00:03:38.695 --> 00:03:42.399 because it made me think like, you know what? NOTE Confidence: 0.9186339974403381 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.040 I do have a part in this. NOTE Confidence: 0.9095464944839478 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.280 My kids have a part of this. NOTE Confidence: 0.8307766914367676 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.758 What makes the Johnson family special is that it's a NOTE Confidence: 0.8307766914367676 00:03:48.825 --> 00:03:49.160 team. NOTE Confidence: 0.9340022206306458 00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:51.984 To have a village that's there for you that cares NOTE Confidence: 0.9340022206306458 00:03:52.041 --> 00:03:55.053 and that are so loving to get you through everything, NOTE Confidence: 0.9340022206306458 00:03:55.109 --> 00:03:56.359 it's, it's incredible.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8505967855453491 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.011 It inspired me also as well because I'm, I'm like, NOTE Confidence: 0.8505967855453491 00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:09.400 man, she just got hers.
