Health. As I shared with you
this winter, I was diagnosed with
a chronic kidney disease out of
the blue! I continued serving the
church and state just the same,
with the only real side effect
being fatigue.
Thanks to your prayers and
the good work of my doctors and
nurses, my latest treatment is
working extremely well.
The fatigue is gone, but most
importantly my kidney numbers
are moving rapidly towards
remission. I cannot thank you
enough for your prayers and
support!
This experience strengthened
my resolve to fight for quality,
affordable health care for all our
citizens. Now, onto several
pressing state issues I want to
share with you in this month's
column.
