The tone of my book is largely humorous. I find a way to laugh through some of the issues facing dialysis patients. From the book description:
Between side effects like cramping that can lead to embarrassing social situations; the use of needles that look like props from a Friday the 13th movie; ridiculous dietary restrictions that make you howl at the moon every time a pizza ad comes on TV; overbearing doctors with the social skills of someone raised by wolves; and many other life and work situations, the author finds plenty to laugh about by keeping the right perspective.
OK, I never use these little icons, so I think I'll insert one now.
I feel pretty "with-it" now.
