Title: New Center
Post by: YLGuy on October 04, 2012, 10:03:17 PM
I switched centers a couple of weeks ago.  My Neph does not normally go to this unit but is seeing me there for now.  He is such a great doctor.  I have decided that I do not want to get and know anyone there.  I was at my last center for over 3 years.  I lost so many friends. David, Lola, Imelda, Ruben, John... So many.  The kicker was losing John.  After his funeral I decided that I could not do this anymore.  Coming in and seeing the empty chair where my friend once sat. Knowing it would be filled soon enough.  It has so broken my heart losing these people.  I miss them so much.  It makes me so very sad thinking about the people they left behind.  I can't do it anymore.

I do understand what you're saying YLguy, its hard to loose so many friends, but they are out of pain now, is all you can think really. Moving centres is a good, and logical idea. I think I moved 3 times now, and now hoping to start home hemo. Although that won't keep those shocks from happening I'm afraid.

So Yes you can do it, because you are.

lots of luck, and strength Cas

That was something I never really thought about before I started,getting close to fellow patients,then losing them,but if you live long enough everyone you know will probably die,you can't stop caring for and helping other people,without that what else is there?
