Congratulations. Were you on PD and/or catheter the entire 6 years?
Now, the next step is to learn tot do your own needles.

It is a BIG step and a BIG DEAL. Congratulations. You've worked hard to get to this place. "Stick" to it and keep going.

This is not a big step this is a huge step, for most being stuck by a needle is no big thing but for some one who has a real fear its major. If you are not afraid it's easy, what I find admirable here is you faced your real fears and we're stuck. This is really brave. Congratulations you stared down a real enemy (your fear) and won. You deserve much kudos for this accomplishment. If dialysis sites gave out medals you would deserve one for this. Thanks for a inspirational moment.

More power to you! I think I would need 4 psychologists. ;D

What a success! :yahoo;

Good for you !!! :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;
Luckily I did not have such a fear so I cannot relate to how hard this must have been for you but I can only imagine.
It will continue to get easier I believe. Congrats again!!

A Wise Man once said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
You never really know how strong you are until you face your worst fear, and over come it.
You have just PROVED Both of the above. You deserve to be proud. Voluntarily giving up your arm, your blood, you gave up your fear.
You have earned recognition , this is a major accomplishment.

Well done, and nice to see you back
Love, Cas

It is quite something. The first time you see a nurse stick needles in a patients arm for dialysis and they say "soon you'll be doing this yourself" you think no way jose. But then you do and the feeling is a deep pride in yourself. Good for you.

Hello again and it is really great to see that you have persevered to "get there"...
... You can be really proud of yourself and I wish you the very best of luck ! :waving;
... Perhaps in the not too distant in the future you might even have reasons to re-think your name?
Well done and best wishes from Kristina. :grouphug;

LOL
I had to laugh at the thought of changing your name. Just a short time ago kitkatz posted something about changing someone's name. As I understand, it is a pain. The mere mention of a name change starts her head spinning! I kinda wish I was there to see that. I've seen an owl turn quite a bit, just not a person.

This is HUGE!
A hearty congratulations to you! You should have a big celebration!
