Title: "I AM" - PLEASE ADD YOURS
Post by: jdwills83 on June 20, 2010, 10:34:58 PM: I AM MORE THAN THIS MACHINE.

I AM STRONGER THAN I THINK.

I AM THE DECIDER OF MY FUTURE.

I AM IN CONTROL.

I AM THE SOLDIER AND WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING.

I AM SCARRED BUT BEAUTIFUL.

I AM BRAVE.

I AM UNDERSTANDING.

I AM ALWAYS LISTENING.

I AM LOVING.

I AM INSPIRING.

I AM THE ONE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS "YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS"

I AM ME AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME LIVING.

I AM THE SURVIVER.

Post by: fc2821 on June 24, 2010, 04:37:24 PM: I am refusing to let my health problems keep me doing what I want to do if I can somehow do it. And I refuse to give up and stop from finding a way either.

For those who don't know I sustained severe physical injuries which make it difficult for me to stand or walk without special boots and a cane, as well as having lost my kidneys.

Post by: RichardMEL on July 22, 2010, 05:31:35 AM: I am... the star pupil?!!!

The Fresnius(sp?) person was around testing some of the nurses on their understanding of the machine and functions offered. Well they decided to use me/my machine as the guinea pig. So she was explaining Kt/V, calculating it, the settings, what it means etc etc. Well heck I ended up answering some of the questions (correctly I might add!!). WOO HOO!!!

One nurse got in trouble because she'd put me in correctly as a FEMALE!!!! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; we all had a good laugh over that one. I got a lot of mileage out of that one for the afternoon! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I am still able to laugh.
