Here's how I pull my needles without assistance (my partner still doesn't want to have anything to do with the needle parts). The camera is sitting on top of the sharps box.

Adam, God bless you i am not on nx stage. I go to a center for hemo. I don't know if i could do what you do. Sometimes i watch them but when all the tape is off i get mad at what i see and turn my head. If i ever go your route i will remember what your video says. Thank you buddy. By the way now that you are a movie star can i get a autograph???

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

I knew SOMEONE would make a comment about the tape  :lol;. I usually don't have that much trouble removing  it. I normally use clear plastic tape, but I ran out and I had to use paper tape which is MUCH harder to get a hold of.
