I like the fact that I'm visited every week--EVERY week--by one neph, one dietician, and one social worker.

Think of how many appointments I would have to make to see so many specialists!  And here they are, coming to see me.

I'm going to make them ask ME for appointments.

I like still being around and hopefully will be able to see my kids have their own kids.  I want to live long enough to be a grandma, and without dialysis, that would not be possible.  I have always dreamed about growing old with my husband.  I still want that.

The staff at my unit.  I'm fond of some, and even the ones I like the least are not people I dislike (if that makes sense).  Joking with the staff makes the experience more bearable.
