Thanks all..last weekend spent with youngest son and his wife, then hemmed yards of a prom dress for oldest g-daughter this week, am still unpacking and organizing but getting close to done with that, then can start sewing or something, this week both sons had birthdays so I did the mom baking thing and took carmel rolls to their workplace to share, so this has been a busy but good week and you have all been right, getting busy with something else helps so thank you all and have a great weekend.  My access surgerys start on May 16, so that is another step. 
(Poof)..here is some stardust for all of you.

:welcomesign; I have diabetes and have gone blind in each eye at separate times over the last 3 years, but my local eye specialist sent me to the big city where they cleaned out the blood and floaters and remove layers of scar tissue, my eyes went, then the Kidneys for me depression is a on and off thing, like your good days and bad days.

Welcome to the site!   :bandance;  It seems to be normal to be depressed on dialysis.  I go through phases where all I want to do is throw in the towel and give it all up, but then the sun comes out and it gets a little better.  Do not give up!  Come here for support and to talk to people who have been where you are.
