I hate the pile of boxes in my spare room.
I hate the yellow rubbish bags i have to put out every week (that apart from putting a neon sign over them tells everyone .. hey ill person lives here , im mean they got big Hazadous sign on them , like someone with the plague lives here )
I hate the smell of all the wipes and washes in my bedroom
I hate walking into every room to be reminded of dialysis , bedroom, spare room, bathroom.
I hate having to wait in for my delivery when its a beautiful sunny day outside.
I hate it when they get my delivery wrong.
I hate the nosey neighbours who see my delivery coming and think i must be ordering (gone mad) from a catalogue or mail order.

Today, I hate cancer.

I hate that 4 little kids are losing their father.
I hate how they say "give him 3 to 5 days" when he's not been given anything - it's all being taken away.
I hate losing a friend.

I already posted some of these elsewhere, but here they are all in one place:
I hate when the bandage loosens and falls off my catheter site, exposing it to the air.
I hate the itching.
I hate the tingling.
I hate revision surgeries.
I hate nurses and techs who report to work at the center when they're obviously sick with colds or flus.
-
I knew if I looked hard enough I would find a link to a rant of "I Hates...." from me.
http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=416.msg2497#msg2497
Here ya go. Written a few years ago when I was a new member on IHD.com.
-
I HATE that someone had to die in order for me to receive a kidney :'(
-
I hate the concept of a kidney transplant from a living donor.
It's wholly unethical. Even were I offered one, I would refuse.
-
Hmmm!
I hate the concept of a kidney transplant from a living donor.
It's wholly unethical. Even were I offered one, I would refuse.
I hate that I have not been able to GIVE my husband a kidney. I guess we are just unethical ;)

I'm sorry to hear that Alita.
We all have different opinions on what is and is not ethical. You and I differ about this; doesn't mean that I disrespect your views though.
:flower;
-
Hi, Stoday.
You DID see the wink, right? ;)
Aleta
-
I hate not being able to leave work to go home and rest when I feel so sick.
-
I hate the way my arm looks after 2 fistula surgeries. I hate that my body is covered with scars. I hate what 7 years of pd has done to my waistline.
-
Isn't it interesting how different or alike we all are......I would NOT take a kidney from a live donor but I would GIVE something of me to another if needed. That's what Saul has trouble understanding too as he has offered many times.
-
I hate.....hate.
But I also understand that we all have moments of it.
-
I hate that I can't give Marvin my remaining kidney (gave him one in 2000 -- lasted a little over three years). I'd give him my other one tomorrow and I'd be the one to live on dialysis.
I hate that more people aren't donors -- both living and cadaveric.
I hate when people say, "Oh, my God!" when they see Marvin's fistula arm. To us, it's the most beautiful arm in the world.
-
Petey - I'm with you. I like to call mine "arm art".
-
Hate is a mighty strong word.
Right now, Because of my inability to think, I don't hate any thing.
I would, but maybe I just don't have it in me, maybe. . .
I don't really hate dialysis. In my current state, It's "what I do" I go to dialysis. It's my purpose to get good marks on my labs, not gain too much water weight. . . Pretty pathetic. . . I guess. . . The dietitian is GORGEOUS! and she is SO encouraging. She gives me gold stars on my report, and sits and talks to me for too long. . . The rest of the caregivers are SO nice. I realize that they have to go to classes on how to be nice, but it's gotta be hard for them. I DO hate a caregiver(usually an old nurse) that calls me "honey" or "dear", rather than take the time to learn my name. See? I do hate something. I hate to get the tech that should have retired years ago, that dyes her hair, that should have retired long ago. . . If she didn't have to work and just came to work because she didn't have anything else to do. . . But that's for another day. . . But overall, I agree with Wenchis59 I hate HATE. It serves no purpose. The opposite of hate? it isn't love. The opposite of love is indifference.
-
I hate dialysis. Hate it with a passion! Hate it!
-
I agree with Wenchie. I really don't like to use the word "hate," and we teach the kids at school not to use it. But right now I'm feeling pretty stressed out by the schedule I've had to keep this week and I pretty much hate that everyone expects me to be the responsible one. I'll get over it....
-
TODAY, I don't really hate anything as I wait for the medi-van to take me to dialysis.
But I'd LOVE to have the use of my hands back.
And I'd LOVE to have the use of my legs back.
And I'd LOVE to have my kidney function back.
-
I hate dealing with judgemental, critical parents of (one of) my son's friends... more specifically, I hate my pig-headed, snotty-nosed, tissy-fit, spoiled brat 35-yr-old neighbor who thinks he's god's gift to women and all of mankind. UGH! Idiot. There. I said it.
I also hate the effort it takes to maintain friendships with kids from divorced homes with two different homes and two sets of parents. UGH.
-
Lately I've been so involved and focused on my own health problems that I fail to see the hardships that other people, expecially my friends, are going through. I HATE when I do that.
-
I hate that I can't fix everyones problems.
-
I hate cigarettes....
-
I like the smell of pipe tabacco though.
-
I hate clinically obese people at Trader Joe's who push me out of the way to get the last item on the shelf.
I hate people who abuse entitlement programs.
I hate people who talk on their cell speakerphone at Dialysis. Yes, the status of your anal warts should be heard by everyone.
I hate preening, grunting, mindless twits at the health club.
I hate struggling through an entire workday just to stay vertical.
I hate the fact that Dialysis is keeping me from my full potential.
I hate the fact we're not harder on criminals. Bring back stoning, hanging and boiling in oil. Eye for an eye should be the Common Rule of Law.
I hate moviegoers in general.
I hate my hypocritical roommate who claims to be an environmentalist. "Can we not run the thermostat at 72 during the winter? The electric bill is outrageous and you're wasting energy." "But I'm cold." "Our power comes from coal and oil, you're not helping the problem." "But I'm cold." Ugh.
I hate women who skip town once they find out I'm on Dialysis.
I hate rednecks.
I hate little rat dogs that bark. Incessantly. At 6:30 on a Sunday morning. When I'm trying to sleep.
I hate people who won't take responsibility for their actions.
I hate when people don't say "thank you" when I hold the door open for them.
I hate all reality shows in the history of television. You ate camel scrotum on a game show and now you think you're a star? Ugh II (the sequel to the early "ugh")
I hate everything Dane Cook has ever done.
I hate not having someone to kiss good night.
That's probably enough hate for one day.
Thank you and good night.
-
I don't hate the fact that hubby is on dialysis - it has kept him here with me for 12 years
I don't hate other people's opinions - I respect them (might not agree with them though)
I do hate it when people think that because hubby is on dialysis he is sick
-
I hate this thread. It's depressing.
-
i hate when computers won't work properly
i hate when you wait for a month for surgery(still no date) after seeing all concerned including the flippin surgeon.
-
I hate Mondays
-
Not being able to slug down that Diet Pepsi all at once and have another in 100 degree heat!
-
I hate everything Dane Cook has ever done.
Hehehehehehe - and here I thought I was the only one who found him terminally annoying.
-
I hate that some family members do not understand kidney disease and sometimes act like I am "putting on" feeling so crappy.
-
But not this family, huh? We get it!
Sorry that your family has been giving you grief, TynyWonder. :flower;
-
I don't hate much, but I hate that Chris is in the hospital. I don't want him to lose this kidney. :'(
-
You know, I want to rid my thoughts of as much hate as possible. That's why I wish we could think of different ways to express ourselves on this thread.
I'm glad that Chris was able to go to the hospital when he got so sick.
I wish that Chris didn't have to go to the Hospital.
I want Chris to be well and return to us.
Guess it means the same thing!
-
Dan, you are really one very smart Smart-Ass.
I love the way you think.
Aleta

Where I grew up (Jamaica), the word hate (pronounced kinda like hyate) was the past tense of eat as in "Las night mi belly was full full...mi did hate (or nyam is another word meaning the same thing) a ole heap a nice nice ting, breadfruit han salfish han hackee han hall dem ting." Jamaicans like to add an h to words starting with vowels but drop the h from words that actually do start with one.
-
I hate the word hate. It is too strong of a word for me. I dislike a lot of the stuff that we have to deal with now that my husband is on dialysis. The endless supplies, the alarms (he does PD at home), the meds, shots and discomfort as well as the days when he doesn't feel like getting out of bed.
But...
I am thankful that he is still here with his family.
I am thankful that he will be able to see his son graduate from High School in a few weeks.
I am thankful for the days that he can get out of bed and that he is mowing the lawn, playing golf and working part time when no one thought he would. :clap;
-
I totally agree with you. Your post brought a little tear to my eye. Don't tell anyone.
-
dialysis dosent bother me much. what i hate is going to the hospital to do it
-
:rant; I absolutely hate everything to do with dialysis.
Did you know I brought my own fan into the unit last time becasue it gets so hot in there right now I sweat myself awake at night?
I hate getting stuck with two giant needles by someone other than the tech who usually sticks me. I found out his name the other night finally.
I hate leaving my house and going to the center for the entire night.
Yeah, I know I say I feel better doing nocturnal, but the entire thing is a huge pain in my ass! :rant;
-
OMG, a fan. I have to take blankets, a wool scarf, gloves and anything else I can get to wrap up in... share your heat.
-
OMG, a fan. I have to take blankets, a wool scarf, gloves and anything else I can get to wrap up in... share your heat.
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Yeah, I though I had misread that! I'm already trying to figure out how to dress for getting to the clinic without melting and being IN the clinic without freezing for when we go in for our Pureflow training soon. I even need a blanket and I'm not the one on dialysis! :rofl;
Aleta
-
I hate mosquitos.
Or maybe I just hate forgetting the bug spray!
-
The back room where I am at in the clinic is not getting the air conditioning right. So in comes my fan. I hate waking up sweating all over becasue the room is hot and my internal temp went nuts on me.
I am usually with you all freezing in there. I am the one who packs in the skier hot packs to stay warm at dialysis usually.
-
Sure that sweating isn't just from "power surges" aka hot flashes? I can't remember how many years it has been since I've been able to sleep through th enight without sweating!
:rofl;
-
the bright side to sweating is that it eliminates fluid :) so you can drink more
-
I hate that people have very wrong views about organ donation.
I hate that even when people are educated on donation, they still don't donate.
I hate how some of my family members feel that I did this to myself.
I hate how I feel after dialysis.
I hate that people "feel so bad" for me. I don't want pity.
I hate how my arm looks.
I hate that my dad died, before I went on dialysis. I want him to comfort me. :'(
I hate that i'm moving, and I may have to switch dialysis centers.
eh. I don't have any more. This made me feel better though. :)
-
I hate it that more people don't find comfort in knowing God.
-
I hate the surgeon who screwed up my kidney... didn't do anything I asked him to do in preparation..... yep, hate is a strong word, and I do hate him.
There, I said it.... and mean it.
I love my IHD family though :grouphug;
-
I hate prostelysing on a non-religious forum.
-
I hate prostelysing on a non-religious forum.
I'm sorry you think I was doing that. I was truthfully responding to the thread - and I didn't go any farther. Besides, by definition, that word means to try to convert. No way was I trying to do that.
-
I hate people being intimidated by a word like God?? :waving;
-
OK, joyfulmother, prostelysing wasn’t quite the right word to express my initial understanding of your post. I was trying to be gentle with you. I do now believe you didn’t mean what you said. Moreover, I don’t think you realise what you did say, so I’ll repeat it leaving just one word out.
I hate it that more people find comfort in knowing God.
I’d like to point out that although I’m an atheist, I don’t agree with that statement. I’ve just written it to clarify how intolerant the original statement was. I’m happy that believers should find comfort in their belief; I would not dream of suggesting that I would hate them for doing so.
-
I am not even sure I know what you just said. It certainly wasn't my intention to be intolerant - again I was just simply responding to the thread. I'll just end it all by apologizing if I offended you in any way.
-
I find it unbelievably rude to criticize people for the beliefs or non beliefs in god. Everyone here has a connection involving some interest or aspect in kidney diseases. That's what you should be here for. As an agnostic, if someone wishes me comfort in God I accept that wish in the manner in which it was offered. You see, I'm not really sure and believe me, neither is anyone around. I do not like the "hate" word bantered around so freely. I agree that it would have sounded much better if joyfulmother had said something like "I wish that more people could find comfort in God" rather than "I hate that". I'd like to go back and rephrase most of the comments about "hate" in here. Even "I don't like" would be better. But to criticsize someones profound believe in her/his God is hateful. I don't hate it. I'd like to see it stop though.

I hear what you are saying and, truthfully? I only said "I hate" because that was the way the thread was started. I am hugely comforted by God and it is true I wish more people could be comforted in the same way. I know I can't push it on people and I wouldn't attempt to. Thanks for understanding what I mean.
-
I hate when people try to tell you what you meant to say. Like you dont know what you said??
Becky please you were far from being intolerant and dont apologize for your feelings.
What is rude is the fact this was tossed towards you at all.
Stoday this is an open forum. Not a religious forum like you mentioned but it is FAR from an atheist forum as well.
Many people here actually and yes this is true. Ask for prayers to be sent there way or to a loved one.
And why would she say as you want her to??
(I hate that more people find comfort in God )
That is what an atheist would say not a god loving person.
-
I, too, WISH THAT people wouldn't try to tell you what they meant to say. Oops, didn't mean to Yell.
-
Members of IHD.com, there is a thread for discussing religious beliefs and if God exists on this site already. Please stay on topic.
The topic is I Hate...add yours. Since it is in the general dialysis section, I think the author wants what you hate about ESRD, dialysis, and aspects of treatment.
Thank you.

Thanks Kitkatz.
Although I try to be a postive person, some days I hate the whole kidney thing.
-
I hate censorship when it involves the expression of ideas.
-
I hate spending eight hours of my night in pain because a nerve was stuck by a giant needle.
-
There are times I would just like to smack some one who says, " But you look so healthy" Yes, I do look healthy and yes, I am active. Heck, I am not dead yet!!!
-
I also HATE Dialysis .......
-

It's hard for me to believe in atheists. It occurs to me that possibly when a person (Atheist) is trapped upside down in a car, and the back of the car is on fire the person is thinking, "If there is somebody up there. . ." A good atheist would never think that. . . It would be "OK. I'mona die, Oh well" PRACTICAL THINKING! Then there is the God believer that's child was raped and murdered that quits believing in God . . . "How can God let this happen?. . .There is no God!." The truth is there is only degrees of doubt. The atheist has a greater ford to cross. So he has to be a greater believer than anyone of us that believe in GOD. "I'm special' I don't believe in God >:( nia na na nia na nia na" But. . .
-
I hate doctors with attitudes and huge egos. I also hate when my regular tech is off and I get some idiot who drags my needles.
:Kit n Stik;
-
I hate popping into dialysis at my usual time then having to wait and wait and wait for my tech to get to me. Plus I hate the new monitor on my arm for blood leak on the arterial line. I broke the first one they put on me and I have no idea how I did it.
-
I hate dialysis.... (see, you made me do it now)
I hate getting called a 6 AM to come in at 10:30 and then having to wait until 11:30 for a crappy little recliner chair and 15 more minutes for a tech. I hate when the woman next to me coughs constantly and I wear my mask the whole time and told everybody to teach her how to cover her mouth when coughing. I hate the the player behind me is on the phone for the whole time trying to put the moves on woman -- all of whom are named "baby". See! Are you sorry you got me into the "hate" thread. I've got more.
-
Dan,
It all depends on whether it helps you feel better or worse by venting.
If you feel better after getting it off your chest, then go for it. If you focus more on the negative by venting, then you might not want to.
There is a time and a place. This is definitely the place. :beer1;
-
yup, what willow said. Sometimes saying it out loud - or in this case, writing it down - can give you some control over the situation. If it helps, then vent away.
I hate getting up at 4:30 3 days a week. I hate when the alarm goes off, and I know that I have to get up, no matter how tired I am or how bad I feel.
-
I hate dialysis. I hate those tubes full of blood. I hate that stupid little recliner chair. I hate insurance/medicare fraud.
-
I hate that everyone hates so much!
I hope that GOD will take the hate out of your systems and fill you with Blessings!
-
I hate it when someone tells me God is going to solve all of my problems. Hah!
-
You will never find a group of more positive people --- sometimes we just need to "hate" things. Doesn't mean we aren't appreciative, just means, for right now we hate something and it is good to have a safe place to vent.
I hate paperwork, more paperwork and then more paperwork. Especially when I have already faxed the papers, but they show no record of receiving them. So, I will do it again. This time I wll fax and mail the info. Grrrrrrrrr
-
I hate people who come to dialysis on a stretcher and are lifted to the chair just in time to open their lunch bags will with fritos, potato chips, cokes and burgers....then eat while they are being hooked up. I really hate it when their lunch doesn't smell good.
-
oh my, i hate that i stooped to this hate thing....I feel better now.
-
oh my, i hate that i stooped to this hate thing....I feel better now.
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
That's the way, Dan!
-
I hate it when the 3 other people in my section are done and leave and I'm by myself for 25min. I feel like I have been deserted.
-

I know that feeling! I'm the only one on my shift without a cath. I'm always the last one left, tapping my feet impatiently, waiting to clot off.
-
They won't let me hold both sites at once so that makes the foot tapping twice as long!
-
I hate it when I have to get up from my lunch time nap in the car and go back into the office. :(
I love sneaking in a little time on IHD. :)
-
I hate being the very last patient off the machine every single morning, but I love that hubby picks me up first!
-
My Turn!!
I hate people that yell at their kids
I hate cigarettes
I hate the word puss
I hate not being in control of my own life
I hate that "being bad" is having to many glasses of water ::)
-
Kimmie we think just alike even with a language barrier :bandance;
I agree with everything you wrote but I have been none to yell at my kids :'( sorry
I hate people who complain about having to drink so much water --
I hate people who think it would be relaxing to be tied or hooked to chair for 4 hours --- me time not
I hate people who have a hard time gaining weight -- unless you are a member of IHD
I hate people who think special education students can't learn-
I hate other stuff but I need to go
-
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl; language barrier :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
I have yelled at my kiddies too, but I mean, nasty mean yelling
Oh I forgot, I hate bra's also, they had to have been invented by a man :banghead;
-
Every thing that has already been posted and twice over.
Oh yea,I really hate feeling crappy 99% of the time. I would love to know what feeling good felt like so I would know when I feel good!
-
I hate TV shows which exploit dysfunctional and emotionally vulnerable people. I wish there was a way of preventing these sad creatures from putting themselves forward to be publically humiliated on national TV.
The likes of Jerry Springer and Britain's Jeremy Kyle are merciless with these people who possibly already have underlying phsycological disorders. It's nothing more than a human form of bear-bating.
For every person driven over the edge after appearing on this kind of show and there have been quite a number, then the TV companies should have to take some responsibility for their medical bills. Everyone involved in organizing these kind of rubbishy shows should be ashamed of themselves, so too should the audiences who tune in to be 'entertained' by them for in doing so they are culpable.

Ken, I totally agree. :clap; :clap;
-
Sorry Ken dont agree there ..Jeremy Kyle is just full of pregnant kids wanting to know who the dad is !!!!!.
-
Wouldn't it be nice if everyform of entertainmet had some social or redeeming value, or as least true drama or comedy? With shows like you mention and all the "reality", I doubt it'll happen soon. Keep thinking, thouh, on what you can do to encourage your ideas.
-
I hate Dialysis.
I hate Surgery's.
I hate Pain.
I hate people looking at me funny because im a 21 yr old with a cathader and I cant even take my 11 month old daughter swimming. :'(
-
I hate that so many good people suffer so greatly and fight through it all just to live another day.
-
that my daughter and I had to go through these experiences:
1) My daughter was in the hospital and a Dr. came and told me they wanted to put her on the machine that helps you breathe( sorry I can't remember the name of the machine at this time). I just wanted to ask a couple questions and the Dr. snapped at me saying, " Do you want her to die?"
2) My daughter was in the hospital and during this stay her blood pressure dropped to 40/20. The Dr. present told me she would need a heart transplant because her heart is just wore out. She was life flighted to her transplant center two hours away. The transplant center ran tests and they said she received too many blood pressure medicines at the prior hospital.
3) Took my daughter to the emergency room to get IV treatment because she was sick and she always got dehydrated when she was sick. The Dr. present said she was rejecting her transplanted kidney. He finally got me second guessing myself so they life flighted her to her transplant center again...final outcome..she was dehydrated.
4) Sarah was on the waiting list for 2nd kidney transplant., her antibodies were high so I was surprised we got a call saying to come to the hospital, they may have a kidney for her. After all the tests were run they said the kidney was for Sarah. I wanted to ask some questions because I had some concerns about her antibodies. The Dr. said, " Don't ask questions, she's getting a kidney."
This time it was a nurse.
5) Sarah was in the hospital. I went to check on her Easter morning before I went to work at 5:00 in the morning. The nurse present said Sarah's organs were shutting down. I called family and told them that Sarah was dying. Sarah's sister was out of state, so she had to make arrangements to get an emergency flight home. I sat with Sarah thinking she was dying until about 10:30 a.m. The Dr. came in on rounds and said she had in infection. IV antibiotic treatment would take care of it.
-
I hate doctors who do not listen to all your complaints
I hate doctors who admit you, but do not look fr cause of pain, instead they look to see if your rejecting transplant.
I hate shaving, but feel beter after doing so.
I hate the smell of any fish food canned, fresh, cooked, grilled, or anything near me that will make me :puke;
I hate noisey little brat kids and the parents who make us suffer with their kids recklessness thru a store
I hate my living situation
I still hate Vista and so far Windows 7 is up in the air.
Darn didn't make a Top Ten List
-
This week, I am hating waiting .................
-
I hate .... people who thinks up all the socalled cures/treatments for kidney failure without proof.
-
I love this website, but I hate the reason that I am here, just got my husband off to Dialysis this morning, he really did not want to go today. I really wish this was some travel message board instead.
-
I hate that I am about to post on this thread.
I hate that my life now revolves around dialysis.
I hate that I am going to die while on dialysis, go to or from or else because I'd decided to stop dialysis.
I hate the threads that say "dialysis is no way to live" though they are right -- actually I hate that they are right.
I hate the threads that says people over 60 will die waiting for a transplant. I hate that they are right.
I hate that I am going to be one year older in a couple of weeks. I try to say the age but just can't manage to get it out.
I hate not having fun, not going out, not making people happy anymore. I hate that my life is without value.
God, I hate this post and mostly, I hate that this ranting didn't help a bit.
-
Dan, I have another birthday in about 3 weeks. We are in the same decade. I want to respond to a couple of your "hates". You have great value to your IHD family and you make me very happy. I love your posts. I love how quickly you adjusted to your situation and are helping others get through the beginning of dialysis. All the women in my family live to their 90's and I know I will not follow their pattern. BUT, they all had Alzheimers ---- so, I am looking on the bright side!! Depression has reared it's ugly head around here for a couple of weeks and I don't like it. I want to think about musicals, theater, symphonies, beautiful things and enjoy my days. So, maybe we can get each other back on track. I don't look forward to this birthday, but I need to be glad I am having one. We will cyber celebrate our birthdays!!
And I am still hating waiting this week. No calls except from family wanting to know if I have heard from the transplant clinic. If I had, I would have called everyone!! So, I sit and wait -- :waiting;

There is something I hate and I just can't put my finger on it yet :banghead;
