"Because you are so close to kidney failure, you are very weak, very tired. Emotionally it's not a very easy thing to face because if you don't have kidneys, (Pause) you die. And sometimes when your body is so physically tortured. If difficult to look on the bright side. So you really have to be strong mentally, to get thru it.

People ask me, why are you playing poker when your so sick, & it's like if i don't focus on living life, than i have to focus on how to live. Like i actually have to focus on living. And those thoughts are way overwhelming."
