Dear Diary,
    What do you mean I have to come back to this place three days a week?  They told me I had to come back! Can you believe it.  Needles and four hours in the so-called reclining chair, with a mid evil torture device of a blood pressure cuff on me.  I was invited back permanently they said.

RERUN IS IN DENIAL

she thinks I am her biggest fan ; her only fan --- well, that is okay because that makes me her smallest fan too ...... :cheer:
but I know differently --- now that you have read her --- you feel like I do --- too bad Jay Leno left --
rerun could be a comic writer for him

she has no idea how great she is .... :yahoo;

I think you could make more by submitting articles to the appropriate periodicals.  Yours would be a perfect fit for Reader's Digests.  Or maybe try a regular piece in a Kidney publications....  I guess just that tech that you filled out the form for doesn't have a job as an editor or something.  You're dead if he does....

Dear Rerun,
I am a fan of your diary too.l
You write deliciously witty
and give hints
what should and
could be improved.
And you give those hints
in such a very classy
and witty way!
Thanks again.

Everything you wanted to know about dialysis and were afraid to ask -
a diary by Rerun ( when you become a well known author you can use your real name )
you will laugh, cry and learn tons about dialysis

Dear Diary,

Today they sent me to get a "fistulagram".  They said it was "no big deal".  I got there at 8:15 a few minutes early, and waited 3 hours.  I read about all the nice places to travel that I will never get to go.  Some jerk little kid had already circled all the hidden pictures in the Highlights Magazine and the coffee was cold.  They finally got me in and prepped my arm with a cold soulition.  Then he said he was going to put in a local sedation.  It hurt a little... like lidocaine.  Then he sticks this wire in my arm.  That hurt waaaayyy more.  Then he said he was going to inflate a balloon.  I passed out and woke up in the hospital room.  I now have a new definition for "no big deal".

I was quite depressed after a rotten dialysis last night. But then I read your diary and I had to laugh. It bought a smile back on my face. Every time I feel bad, I'll go your diary.

  I just found this thread.....    I see that okarol wants a update from ReRun.........   and thats sound good to me too.....

    but  I wanted to say  that I too have done pretty well  on my second time with D..... even if it was only for three hours....   After all the weeks stressing about starting D......  and worring about everything...... it seems to be going good.....  still last hour of sitting is way hard..... I am one of those people who dont sit anyway......  Taking the tape off  seems to be the hardest part.....  and paper tape does not like me.....Silk for me......  I wish it didnt stick so well...... 

     So   Dear   Diary..........  I hope my next session goes just as well......  and I hope that I have successfully removed all the hairs on my arm so the tape doesnt hurt as much..........

To hell with you for making me laugh outloud before I completely healed from the extensive damage to my internal oragns from peritonitis.

Only kidding, it doesn't hurt that bad anymore and I could have stopped reading at the first laugh but I didn't want to. If i had read this a couple of weeks ago I would have been in some serious pain though!

Very funny post though thanks fo rthe laugh! :-)
