Title: hi just wanted to talk to some people that knew where I'm coming from
Post by: mslady on October 28, 2013, 07:34:03 PM: Everyone I know even feel sorry for me or treat me like I'm dying because I'm on dialysis. I just want to talk to someone that gets what I'm going through but don't look at me as just a dialysis patient. I like cooking and drawing and laughing and having fun see those other things about me fr

I can barely draw a straight line, so I admire anyone who enjoys drawing.

What else do you enjoy doing to have fun?

Welcome to IHD!

We talk about just about everything here, and not all of it is dialysis related. When you get into a conversation about the cute things cats do, or something along those lines, it's easy to forget that you're talking to a group of dialysis patients.

Another good thing about this board is that if you have a question, there is bound to be someone who can answer it for you. It's one of the things I love about this place.

Post by: Deanne on October 29, 2013, 08:18:59 AM: I so get it! I refuse to talk medical stuff with my family (specifically my mom) for the most part because they seem so focused on it that they seem to forget that I'm 95% like everyone else with a job, life, friends, house, etc. I get the impression sometimes that I'm just a disease with a body. I like to cook, too. Nothing specific - I like to find stuff that looks good on Allrecipes and try it out. Sometimes it's really good. Sometimes, I give myself a talking to for wasting money on such cr*p.

What do you draw? Abstracts, figures, landscapes,???? What medium? Do you have pictures?

I haven't drew anything in a while because I also have a 2yr old who knows the world revolves around him lol and cooking basically consist on whatever he'll eat lol. When I get little breaks from him I like to cook the things I like that he don't. I really like grilling

Post by: YLGuy on October 29, 2013, 08:40:02 PM: Ah, grilling. Now I know we have something in common. I am a great outdoor/camping cook. I have cooked full Thanksgiving meals in a fire pit. I live in Southern California so I can grill pretty much year round. Welcome to the site! I am a single dad of 3. I have been on dialysis for 4 1/2 years.
