II remember my first Thanksgiving to well when I had dialysis. My center said they gave me a notice that there would be no dialysis on that day andwas to come on such and such date and time. I never got that piece of paper, went to the center on Thanksgiving and walked back home out of frustration. On the next session I find out my fistula clotted off, sent home with no dialysis and had to wait to be called for a catheteeer to be put in and then my graft to be put in. Was not a happy camper. I wish they would take out thisdarn ugly graft.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Wow!!! Apost that is ywo years old or not, so pretty harsh words in this post, espically racially.  From what I read there was absolutly not persobal attack on Rerun about religion, and to threaten to ban someone from the site for "their" opinion...man  some people take this site was too seriously.  Pretty much all of us on here are on dialysis, myself only 4months, but I have had 2 transplant and was of for almost 4 years 10 years ago.  What I am saying is what makes it right to say that since you have "seniority" you know better than Kitsure.  Obviously that perosn was offended by the "filipino comments, and I as well found them pretty harsh.  What if it was blacks or jews that were working in the clinic, and they don't celebrate all the holidays we do, so does that mean "F*&# THem" they don't care about us.  Sorry to go on but I happened to stumble upen this post as well, and I as well as Kitsune must have totally read it the wrong way....and in turn one of the admis must have read what she wrote in the total wrong context as well, espically to threaten to ban that person...they ddi the same as Rerun, just expressed an opinion, there was no personal attack from the way I read it.  It seems like in lots of the post I read there are a few people on the forum that have been on fro a long time therefore they can say what they want and newbies have no right to comment on a senior poster.

AgainI am sorry to jump in on this but I was a little put off to say the least as to what I read going on here.

Just my opinion, please don't ban me,

Jay

Hi Jay,
You did join this thread late so you've missed a lot.
First of all, the member modified her post as requested. That's why you no longer can read the personal attack. If you know me you'd know I don't threaten a ban for no reason.
The rules are clear, speak your mind, rant if you need to, say what you want. But no personal attacks against other members.
Another rule is to stay ON TOPIC and since Thanksgiving scheduling is the subject, let's stick to it.

For many years my center scheduled dialysis on Thanksgiving.

I discovered that the management didn't even provide the evening staff with a deli platter, so for about eight years I roasted a turkey for the staff on Thanksgiving.

For the last few years the new administrator has closed the center on Thanksgiving, and the patient's schedule move one day forward:  Thursday patients dialyze on Friday, Friday patients dialyze on Saturday and Saturday patients dialyze on Sunday.  Then back to the normal schedule on Monday.

Suffice to say, I no longer roast a turkey for the evening staff on Thanksgiving.
