After months of looking for a new neph and getting blacked balled by my soon to be ex D center I Belive I found the right Neph. :yahoo; After being told he wasn't taking no new patients by the folks at my soon to be ex center. Got a call from his nurse He wanted to chat with me. So I went to see him. He told me how the D center was telling every neph and D centers about the bad stuff not good stuff. He told me there is 2 sides of every story and wanted to hear my side. He didn't like what I told him about my ex neph just coming in and looking at me stupid and not helping me with my RLS. He wrote me a script on the spot and agreed to take me on. :yahoo; He gave me a complete look over from head to toe said everything looked and sounded great. He talked to me about my needle phobia and he is sending me to a Psychologist that knows about my fear. He is sending me to a what he calls kidney school to learn about other methods of dialysis wants to me to check out PD he feels that might be best for me. Still waiting to get in the new D center must have been blacked balled good. Well the other day got a call from my new Neph's nurse asking me if I have seen the Psychologist yet I said no and she told me if I don't like him she has a Psychiatrist and I didn't have to lift a finger they did all the work I am so excited. :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

So glad to hear this. We moved hear 7 urs a go not knowing anybody. At the time I was transplanted and all was well / I asked at the local D center and they recommended him. We havent looked bacl . When Transplant failed he pullled strings and got me into the D center 1.5 miles from home.
Was in the hosp this week and he stopped by and we sat for about 20 minutes telling jokes. He gets paid for a 5 mon visit so I know he was paid to be theire but stayed quite a bit longer.

Thanks for the support. I can't wait to get out of this center and into the new one. I am supposed to be at dialysis at 7:00am and hooked up by 7:15am it has not been happening. It has been getting later everytime I go in today I got there at 6:55am and they didn't get me back there until 8:00am got hooked up by 8:13am. What up with that? Almost walked out got tired of waiting and all the patient were hooked up and running. The nurse working my area at the time I was there to be hooked up only had me and another patient waiting in the waiting room. He got called back at 7:20am so your telling me it took 40 mins to hook up 1 patient don't buy it. I am the last patient to be hooked up everytime I go in always waiting its like they don't like messing with chest caths or mad at me cause I am leaving but as far as I know they don't know I have a new neph and leaving for a new center. Today I had a Nurse that twice now has asked me stupid questions. She asked me the first time she hooked me up if I walk well duh walked in walked to the scale walked to my chair and she seen me and put the blood pressure cup on me. Then she asked me if I bleed well doesn't everybody? :rofl; Then today she asked me how come I don't use my fistula I told her I am afraid of needles sever needle phobic. Then she asked me if I stick myself ? I am like what kind of question is that? I told her why would I want to stick myself when I am afraid of needles? She just laughed at me. Hurry Neph get me out of there
