Don't Clown Around with Kidney Disease!
Kathe LeBeau, Program Manager for RSN’s weKAN program, and a student in "Clown
School," went in for gallbladder surgery only to discover that her kidneys had
50% of their function. She cancelled the surgery and began a journey of
self-discovery by learning about the disease. Travel her amazing path with her
and learn why Kathe opted for home hemodialysis. An exciting show that reminds
us to live our lives as though we didn’t have kidney disease, but observe the
guidelines!
