Wednesday night I went to a ministry meeting at church. As I was walking in I met up with another church member. She turned to me and said that she did not expect me to be at the meeting as she thought I would be getting a new kidney by now. I told her that the my transplant center said the average wait for O neg was 7 years. (besides the fact that I am not even on the list yet)
Yeah some people think you'll just get a transplant overnight.  My kidneys packed in Nov '08. That NYE 7 weeks later a mate i hadn't seen in a while asked me how many transplants i'd had already? Like you i wasn't even on the waiting list yet. |

a tech at dialysis asked me what is the difference between increase and decrease-- she said she always gets that mixed up ---  what the heck --- she has been a tech for at least 8 years and I have known her for 6 years  |

Friend from the UK emailed yesterday and wanted to know how long I'd have to be on dialysis. He isn't ignorant but unformed (or at least he was until I wrote back last night and explained)... Then he wrote back about the tranplant issue... I think I'll have it tatooed on my butt and start mooning people who ask that.

Had a friend  ask, "What have you got to be depressed about?" I should have answered, "Got a week, we'll hit the highlites" Instead I just said "A lot, but but lets not talk about me. We're talking about you." |

was this an actual RN..or one of the helpers? An actual nurse should know this isnt temporary. Unfortunately there are many, many stupid people who ask the most ridiculous questions..or just stare at you. I hope you can find a way to let the remark bounce off of you but I would be sure not to let her work on me too often unless she knows what shes doing! God bless!

Some people say the most stupid, and offensive things..... I got the following comment......
I'm a wheelchair user, and was on the tram one day, chatting with and having a laugh with another passenger.....
A guy I'd never seen in my life came up to me and said "Well Love... It's great to see you people happy... If I ended up as a cripple, I'd lock myself away from normal people".....
I couldn't resist smiling my sweetest smile and saying "Why wait???"...
