today marks 1 full year on dialysis and I just want to say that I think I hate it more now then when I first started  >:(
yes I am thankful to be alive, but that does not make me hate it any less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
today will be a sad day for me and in fact every 9-23 will be sad, until transplant  :(

you're not alone, i hate dialysis a whole lot too.  I would rather walk across scalding hot coals slowly than do dialysis.  :rofl;

I hate dialysis too. Pretty much every night. Luckily I can't remember the day I started dialysis. I was in a coma. But I miss my life before dialysis.

It's a brutal way to live.  I watched my mom struggle through it, and I'm soooo not looking forward to it myself.

Yeah, I know, it keeps you alive, but gosh, at what a cost!

Congratulations Tracy.  A good milestone, despite everything.


I think your 'attitude' is great, will help in coping.

you're not kidding.  with dialysis, there is really no such thing as life balance.  It is pretty much dialysis, bloodwork, hospital/dr appointments, and that pretty much sums it up.  If there is any leftover time after that, then that is all you get.
