Ignorant things people have said to you

[G-Ma]

What an ignorant person...........

[twirl]

I had to go to a different clinic in Conroe to D   b/c of IKE- there was a tech there who would not shut-up - non stop talking, laughing and yelling -he told one of his patients that the patient needed a coke - then he went into this song and dance about how the patient could not have coke but he could - he made a spectacle out of himself--- so I tell him to get a 2 litter coke and shake it and shake it and then  of his
well, okay I said it to myself and no one heard me but I wanted to say it

He deserves more than  a kick in his pants. . . I'd sure of said something to his supervisor. Twirl - - how did Alvin fare?  My daughter's best friend and her son live there and we've not been able to make contact with her?

[twirl]

I think if did pretty bad
my daughter in Spring, Texas does not have power yet
it is really more conroe than spring
I do not remembering hearing that Alvin's schools were opened
hope she is fine
too hot here today with no air
it was 94 and rising at 11am today

No "ignorant things" to post---just really glad to see twirl's posts!  We sure missed that majorette in the little outfit!  Glad you are ok

Glad to hear you guys are ok, Twirl.  My parent's live in Channelview and I went down to give my dad a hand clearing some downed trees.  Luckily their power came back on Wednesday.  I have to admit, it was nice coming back home to Dallas on Thursday!

[twirl]

I love that cat

I don't think Channelview has started school yet...

So I havent been that well lately, and missed a class. Well, apparently some other ppl missed the class because they fell asleep. Well, I was saying to my friend how I missed it because I was sick and really weak, and this girl goes, in a snotty ass tone, this is colllege, being sick is no excuse to miss a class! Everyone around me just rolled their eyes at her, and I go well I have other issues besides the common cold, I didnt tell her about my kidney disease, but I was just really mad that she would say that. I mean yeah i know missing classes in college isnt good to do, but people with chronic illnesses or whatever sometimes HAVE NO CHOICE, plus what was I gonna do? come in and infect everyone else?? Grr, some ppl lol.

[twirl]

yes
come in next time and cough all over the bi***

Or you could say, "Well, since you feel so strongly about my health and want me to come to class more often, why don't you test to donate a kidney to me?" and watch the bitch squirm like Jell-o.

[twirl]

    good one

[twirl]

I missed a lot of college classes sick or hung over
2 beers used to make me sick
I still made all A's and B's
most of my professors did not take roll
I knew the professors who did and usually went to their classes

I like that Kitsune!!

    good one

Thanks Twirl, I have a lot of good kidney-related comebacks that I will post after I get done replying to posts. Stay tuned, same dialysis time, same dialysis channel.

[Kitsune]

I like that Kitsune!!   

Thanks Wayne! It's funny that you have have my husband's middle name as your first name too!

I remember when I was younger and I had to do school physical education (p.e.) and I must've been in 3rd or 4th grade , and I wanted to get out of playing the sport at the time (since it was demanded ) and I had my fistula.  So I decided to tell my coach "something happened to my arm! It's making some weird buzzing sound" , as he didn't know I was on dialysis at the time nor what a fistula was , he felt my arm and immediately was like "oh my god! it is buzzing!! get to the nurse right away , I think he might've broken a vein open ..." and in natural fact , he brought me to the nurse himself. The nurse freaked out too (mind you , this is a school nurse) and she was like "we need to call the hospital...." to which I responded , "argh , look it's a fistula its for my dialysis...". I got in trouble.

I like your spirit!

[twirl]

you are most definitely my favorite kind of student!
that would have cracked me up

[Wayne]

That is awesome Julian!

"I swear, by all that I've ever found holy, the next person who gives me a pitying look and says, "You're much too young to be this sick," is gonna get smacked."



I hate being told that!!! I am 29 now, but we found my kidney disease when I was 14, so I have heard it thousands of times.

I agree with you....i have heard that from everyone including docs, nurses, dialyis pple etc. People tell me that i'm just too youg to have gone through all the stuff i've gone through. Like i don't all ready know that. Gee thanks. Then pple ask me "how do you do it, i wouldnt' be able to" lol...i just tell them you have to and that its a part of your life and you do what you need to to live. then they give me a sad look and usually walk away. I have also had pple say things like what doesnt kill you makes you stronger or something along those lines.  The fact that i am still here and kicking is testimony to that. And for the person asking about tats...i  have a medium size one on the lower part of my back and i would rather have a million tats than do dialysis ever again. I remember one time at hemo, they had to stick me 6...yes i said 6 times to get the needles into my arm. Every nurse and tech tried and i remember one of them the last one who tried..nina say from accoss the room...hey let me try i'll get them in. Here i was crying my eyes out and yelling at the nurses to stop and that i just wanted to go home and try again the next day...nina comes bouncing over..i loved her energy dont get me wrong but at this moment i wanted to hit her. and she finally  was able to get them in. and then she said see there i got them in.  it wasnt until about 6months after i started hemo that the director of the unit i was going to said oh by the way there is a cream you can use to numb up the area...I looked at him with disbelief and shook my head. Why didnt they say anything months before....god i hate stupid pple and most of them are in the damn medical field.

[Claudia30]

one of the best ones i heard was from my aunt...who told me "just wait until they have an artificial kidney that one day they can use" ummmm dont you knwo what dialysis is? and then she said that i shoudnt waste my money (yeah like i have any) and that i will one day have to pay for that "artificial kidney" as it will be a trial run not an actual thing covered by insurance...

I guess I am lucky to have dumb enough relatives who are not smart enough to say something so stupid like that.

The athletic trainer told me:  Be sure to drink a lot of water.  HAH!  I laughed at her.

[twirl]

I got so mad at my husband
we were locked out of the house
and he had to go
and he peed in the back yard
it was night and we have a big yard
I got mad
it was like he was showing off
I told him if I peed that much I'd be skinny
the never ending pee-er
I do not go that much in a month
