Chronic illnesses and hospitalizations are no laughing matter, until you’re living them and realize that laughter helps you get through these difficult times. Carla Ulbrich—the Singing Patient—laughed and sang her way through a stroke, kidney failure, and severe lupus. She explains to Lori how she discovered the healing and coping powers within herself. She has songs about sitting in the waiting room, dealing with a collection of specialists, finding the right person to draw blood, and even seeing her butt disappear because of illness. Can you relate? This is our 200th KidneyTalk show, and what better way to celebrate, than by laughing our way to healing.
