You might be a dialysis patient (or pre-dialysis patient) if...

You carry a trash bag around Wal-Mart in case you throw up... and if you do, you act like nothing happened.

You might be a dialysis patient if you know not only how to spell potassium and phosphorus but also know that their chemical symbols are K and P respectively.

You may be a dialysis patient if you seriously consider divorce when your spouse refuses to get a flu shot because he "hates needles."

you might be a dialysis patient if you want to punch the guy in line at the grocery store for whining that he's sooooo tired from getting up at 7:30 am and going to the store.When you've been up since 4 am and had a treatment already.

You might be a dialysis patient if you have become a conissuer of ice chips. I like the small hard onces you get from frozen bags of ice at the convience store. I hate the crush stuff that is slushy. I find crunching ice very satisfying.

your surgeon walks into your hosipital room and tells you to change your attitude! He thought I was not taking things seriously enough and needed a more positive attitude towards things.

You might be a dialysis patient if....
    You do a happy dance when you feel like you have to pee, then realize it was just an urge, u become depressed.
     You constantly have to explain why you cant drink or eat that to people around you.
    Your son asks you whats growing in ur arm, and why it makes that funny noise when hes laying in ur arms.
     You want to punch people who offer you food u cant have
     sneeze in drive thru after a treatment, and have to clean up blood.
     You can sleep thru loud beeps, sitting up with needles in ur arm

You might be a dialysis patient...

    when in the hospital you are correcting your menu for the dietitian who has the wrong diet on her computer for you.

 you want to take a crow bar to treatment so you can use it to pry information from your doctor.

You might be a dialysis patient if ...
your doctor comes by, and you don't recognize than because it has been so long since you have seen them
