:yahoo;  I'm glad you got everything worked out and now have something to look forward to.  I would just like to note that showing compassion toward our enemies doesn't mean not standing up for yourself.  You are right however in saying that it is "bloody hard to do".  It IS very difficult to to always show compassion, I have to practice every day and I still mess up from time to time.  I never insinuated that that standing up for yourself makes you a bad person and again, being compassionate doesn't mean being pushed around, it actually is quite the opposite but I think few here truly understand what that means.  Again,  :yahoo;  Well done, I am happy for you.

George easy to say , but bloody hard to do. It wasnt a case of 'attitude' Its a case of someone with no renal knowledge whatsoever telling me what is best for me!! You wouldnt let a car showroom receptionist tell you what you required to do your dialysis would you ? well this is only the same. I think sometimes you need to get angry ,if only to stand up for yourself and stop people walking all over you. I have tried the nice approach in the past and it doesnt get you anywhere. Im sick of being bullied and a doormat because of this illness. Just because i wont be pushed around doesnt make me a bad person, i am a better person , just one that stands up for herself !

:yahoo; Great result, WELL DONE for standing up for yourself. But it's awful that you had to and many a one would have been too frightened to speak up.  Hopefully you've made it easier for the next renal patient who has to deal with that housing association. 

Now, I'm OK at painting, but my wallpapering ............ well you really wouldn't want my help!! ;D

Hope you will soon be allocated somewhere - keep us posted.

I just had a thought, why not tell her there ARE 2 of you. You and Dia-lysis. Its is true, I mean you have to live with Dia-lysis until you either get a transplant, or get relief permenant - like, the "D" word. Let them know Dialysis IS your " care giver", without it (her) you would not live. Also let her know you need 2 separate rooms, as you Hate Dia-lysis but as I said, you cant live without it (her). Let her know too - Dia-lysis has lots of box's and 1 room is just not enough , your life is crowded enough with Dia-lysis as it is.

( I hope you get a chuckle from this, maybe its just my bad humor)  :grouphug;
:rofl; Joe that's very good and very funny trouble is I doubt whether the receptionist has either the intellect or the sense of humour to get it.

Kickstart - glad you got something resolved.  Still, why do we all have to go through these kind of aggravations.  What is your favorite color?  I think decorating committee is being formed.

Take care

RESULT ..RESULT ..RESULT !!

Fantastic outcome KS. Good on you.

You have every right to have been upset, and it would be impossible not to get hurt, at least for a while. But George also made a very valid point about using the experience to develop ourselves as better people - we can get stronger from our experiences!

I'm glad you stood up for yourself.

BTW, I rofl'd at the decorating discussion.....  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
