Title: Hello There
Post by: P8tience on October 18, 2008, 04:06:50 PM: Hi My name is Patience (really no lie) and i am the wife of a dialysis patient. He is also a member here but sometimes you need your own space to rant or ask questions ya know? This whole thing has been a nightmare for both of us. It was unexpected for him, but really when is it expected? He didnt have diabeties, I do! He was and still tries to be the typical macho male. its been a very wierd road. My dad died in 2006 so we moved in to take care of my mother. Then Ron started having small heart attacks, ... we moved out and up to Oregon, then he really went bonkers with more heart attacks uncontroled high blood pressure and a nervous breakdown that seemd to be a stroke!! then my grandmother died during al this,I went to the funeral and came back to a dialysis patient! Man is God a joker or what? Oh theres more but this is about dialysis and stuff so i will just leave it at that. I have lots of questions and some may be a bit odd but i bet ya money others have wanted to know but affraid to ask :yahoo; So to all I say hello :bunny:
