I hate dialysis, too!!  Really I love it, you see I'm not on the being tortured end, but I am (shudder) a staff member.
I love my patients and am here only for information, recipes and maybe to forward a few patients  to your site for the strength you all provide each other. 
If you need to yell at me, ask me questions okay. Just remember, I take care of my patients like I would want my family members taken care of, I am not administration or a bonus buck baby, I am all hands on for my patients.
God Bless you, may your messages and information be uplifting for ALL uf us.

Hi Robyn, great to have you join IHD!  My hubby is the patient in this household but I wish you were here in our unit!  Too many of those "bonus buck babies" around and too few of you.  So, thanks for all you do.   :2thumbsup;

Hi Robyn I'm so glad you tuned in.  I do hope you let your patients know about this site.  It has saved my life to know I can hate dialysis and it's okay.  I'm not alone.

Please post often.

Welcome to our community, Robyn!  It says a great deal that you took the time to join us.  We have place for everyone in any way connected to the renal challenge.  As you will find out, this is an excellent place for information and support.  Please direct your patients to this place that was a real godsend to me, as I found it just the month before I started dialysis, and they prepared me for what I was to experience.  This is not just a forum as you will soon discover - it is a genuine family :grouphug; and I am glad you are now part of it.
Looking forward to hearing lots from you.
