I hate the pile of boxes in my spare room.
I hate the yellow rubbish bags i have to put out every week (that apart from putting a neon sign over them tells everyone .. hey ill person lives here , im mean they got big Hazadous sign on them , like someone with the plague lives here )
I hate the smell of all the wipes and washes in my bedroom
I hate walking into every room to be reminded of dialysis , bedroom, spare room, bathroom.
I hate having to wait in for my delivery when its a beautiful sunny day outside.
I hate it when they get my delivery wrong.
I hate the nosey neighbours who see my delivery coming and think i must be ordering (gone mad) from a catalogue or mail order.

I hate how they say "give him 3 to 5 days" when he's not been given anything - it's all being taken away.

I already posted some of these elsewhere, but here they are all in one place:

I hate when the bandage loosens and falls off my catheter site, exposing it to the air.
I hate the itching.
I hate the tingling.
I hate revision surgeries.
I hate nurses and techs who report to work at the center when they're obviously sick with colds or flus.

I hate the concept of a kidney transplant from a living donor.

It's wholly unethical. Even were I offered one, I would refuse.

I'm sorry to hear that Alita.

We all have different opinions on what is and is not ethical. You and I differ about this; doesn't mean that I disrespect your views though.

I hate the way my arm looks after 2 fistula surgeries.  I hate that my body is covered with scars.  I hate what 7 years of pd has done to my waistline.

Isn't it interesting how different or alike we all are......I would NOT take a kidney from a live donor but I would GIVE something of me to another if needed.  That's what Saul has trouble understanding too as he has offered many times.

I hate that I can't give Marvin my remaining kidney (gave him one in 2000 -- lasted a little over three years).  I'd give him my other one tomorrow and I'd be the one to live on dialysis.

I hate that more people aren't donors -- both living and cadaveric.

I hate when people say, "Oh, my God!" when they see Marvin's fistula arm.  To us, it's the most beautiful arm in the world.

Hate is a mighty strong word.
Right now, Because of my inability to think, I don't hate any thing.
I would, but maybe I just don't have it in me, maybe. . .
I don't really hate dialysis. In my current state, It's "what I do" I go to dialysis. It's my purpose to get good marks on my labs, not gain too much water weight. . . Pretty pathetic. . . I guess. . . The dietitian is GORGEOUS! and she is SO encouraging. She gives me gold stars on my report, and sits and talks to me for too long. . . The rest of the caregivers are SO nice. I realize that they have to go to classes on how to be nice, but it's gotta be hard for them. I DO hate a caregiver(usually an old nurse) that calls me "honey" or "dear", rather than take the time to learn my name. See? I do hate something. I hate to get the tech that should have retired years ago, that dyes her hair, that should have retired long ago. . . If she didn't have to work and just came to work because she didn't have anything else to do. . . But that's for another day. . .  But overall, I agree with Wenchis59 I hate HATE. It serves no purpose. The opposite of hate? it isn't love. The opposite of love is indifference.

I agree with Wenchie. I really don't like to use the word "hate," and we teach the kids at school not to use it. But right now I'm feeling pretty stressed out by the schedule I've had to keep this week and I pretty much hate that everyone expects me to be the responsible one. I'll get over it....

TODAY, I don't really hate anything as I wait for the medi-van to take me to dialysis.
But I'd LOVE to have the use of my hands back.
And I'd LOVE to have the use of my legs back.
And I'd LOVE to have my kidney function back.

I hate dealing with judgemental, critical parents of (one of) my son's friends... more specifically, I hate my pig-headed, snotty-nosed, tissy-fit, spoiled brat 35-yr-old neighbor who thinks he's god's gift to women and all of mankind. UGH! Idiot. There. I said it.

 I also hate the effort it takes to maintain friendships with kids from divorced homes with two different homes and two sets of parents. UGH.

Lately I've been so involved and focused on my own health problems that I fail to see the hardships that other people, expecially my friends, are going through.  I HATE when I do that.
