I often wish for a break from constant weekly dialysis.

same, we calculated that since my pd started failing i'm averaging 70-77hrs a week on my machine plus if i'm having a real bad day i'll do an extra arvo bag.

I don't hate dialysis, i mean i can't hate the one thing that keeps me here but somedays i (esp when i'm pms-ing) i just want to pick up the machine and throw it across the room (LIKE A COMPUTER).

Yow know how some woman fantasize about secret rendevous with brad pitt, well i fantasize about sleeping a whole night without being attached to a machine!

While I was still in the hospital, about mid-way thru my second month there after my multiple surgeries for complications from the kidney/panc transplant, one of my nurses asked if I thought it was worth it.  She was doling out my evening pills when she asked.  How do you even compare spending 3 days a week hooked up, not to mention the exhaustion afterward, to 5 minutes a day spent opening pill bottles and swallowing pills?  Heck, yeah, it was worth it - even the part where I had to re-learn to walk!
