Dear iHD Members,

     A few of you that kindly responded to my cry for help kindly pointed out my passion for writing and considered I continue in some form or another. I've considered it, and I've decided to continue a Blog about Dialysis and being a teenager on Dialysis with all the grins and giggles in between. I also hope to add my short stories there, as well as song reviews, poems (maybe, not a poem person), recipes (I like to cook!) And simply updates for my good friends and those of you that seem to want to know. I'm grateful for having this outlet. My nurse, Michelle, was a little saddened that I was on a site called "iHateDialysis", because she inferred it meant we hated the staff members, but I reassured her that is not always the case. We are NOT negative, we just HATE DIALYSIS! :clap;

There's not much on there now, but I will start tomorrow. Dialysis as usual! :puke;

I've been blogging for years on different sites, talking about just about anything going, from dialysis to relationship issues to politics.  I had (it's no longer maintained, but I believe it still exists) a blog about my quest to see a taping of The Colbert Report.  I've been there 3 times since then.

Blogging is a great outlet for frustration, even if you don't have a whole lot of readers.  You get a lot of crap off your chest, and sent out into the ether, and you can use swear words if you want. *LOL*

yep.. still exists.. http://roadtocolbert.blogspot.ca/
