Title: anyone named their access?
Post by: sullidog on September 28, 2012, 07:36:51 PM

anyone here name their access? I named mine betty because she is cranky and if you don't treat her the way she wants she gets mad, like an old woman, no offense of course, but that's why I named her betty.

LOL!  Nope, didn't name mine.  Maybe naming body parts is more of a guy thing?   :rofl;

My daughter named my PD cath and joked about it until I told her to knock it off  :Kit n Stik; I only mention it to bring to light it's not just a guy thing.

I simply refer to mine as "The Pony", as in "I'm off to ride the pony today!"  Simple, but effective. :rant;

I never named my fistula, graft or even my transplanted organs. But the one thing that comes to mind about my  graft is Itchy & Scratchy

Nope, but hubby is a home hemo patient and the Gambro AK95 that we use is named Hal - because it is smarter than we are some nights and has a mind of its own.
