No doubt you qualify as a redneck Twirl.  Even if you don't take your armadillo sandwich with you to dialysis.

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you convert your lazyboy chair to a V8 stock car, hook your dialysis machine to the back and drive it to the rodeo!

you might be...... if your dialysis centre is also your faveourite bottleshop

                         if you lock your tubing up with your garden hose to stop the kids chopping it for bongs

                         if you recycle your pd bags and use them for storing your moonshine.

                         if you use your fistula to get your daily 'shots' of vodka.

                         when you wife/cousin left you for your unlce/brother they took your dialysis machine and hocked it for motel money.

                         you hand out 6 packs of beer to the centre staff for xmas presants, then you bum half their smokes after the next session.

2003 January - acute renal failure
        March/April - Started PD
