Give me strength (long post)

[Inara]

KS, your recent posts have moved me to tears.  PLEASE know that we're all thinking of you!  You are so strong, you can get through this!  My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Oh what a sad story.  I can relate to your first hemo day because mine was pretty similar except I was given apple juice.  I had pain, I thought I was truly going to die and nobody cared.  I didnt see anybody when they wheeled me into the room and I seriously still think I was abducted by aliens.  When my hemo time arrived I was shoved into a room and hooked up with nobody explaining anything to me or even saying hi.  They left me laying there for 3 hours without  a single word.  I was terrified to move my little finger because I just didnt know. 

It is horrible to be treated with so much disrespect.  It traumatizes you emotionally and really makes you feel sad about life.  Things always change and normally they do improve.  My outlook on dialysis was a bit grim because of my traumatic start but I am a lot better now and hope you will be too. 

I wish you so so strength and hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, kana, you've given me so much to look forward to. 

I'm pre-hemo with a maturing fistula and I expect to go on later this year.

Sorry it was so bad for you; I hope that I shall have a happier story when my turn comes.
