i just spent 4 days in the hospital courtesy of some gastrointestinal crud. home now but then i was leaving after dialysis anyway even if they didn't want me to. i'd had it. (of course if they had come up with a very good reason for me to stay i would have) no fun, if you can stay away from it.

I have been on dialysis with the flu bug.  Not a good thing.  The flu makes you weak already and dialysis just pulls it all up and out of you anyway.  I had to stop on the way home in a strange  parking lot and throw up once.

Oh my the flu will get you and then dialysis on top of that.  That is SICK! And it also sucks.  Glad
your home, but be careful and rest yourself.

Love, Mimi
