I sit in a dialysis center on Halloween.  They used to give us treats. I brought 50 bags of treats in to share with patients and wanted them passed out third and fourth shift.  I think they made it to only fourth shift, which has around 12 to 15 patients.  Now I know they are busy, but the secretary could have passed things out for me.  I am also mad that here I sit another celebration time of the year gone  And looking forward to changing my schedule around for the next two holidays.  Plus I miss nocturnal dialysis hours.  2pm to 9 pm is not too God awful but I still do not like it.  My sleep is all mixed up most days.  Just complaining I guess.  18 years of this crap and just more to look forward to.

Dear Kitkatz I'm sorry.
And as you know we're nearly in the same boat, only I'm at home, so I don't miss anything and am less dependent on people like that. I looked through your and my posts to find why you didn't do HHD, but couldn't find it (I suppose we're posting too much  ;D ) But I seem to remember needling and home turning into hospital. Well it is still 1 room that looks like a spare bedroom with a D machine, and a landing that looks like a warehouse. It's  not a perfect home, but it's mine to serve my life.
Needling is (in my case poor eyesight) a question of being very pissed of with situations like you mention, being even more pissed of with healthy people you are dependent on like you mention and sticking those needles in.

Lots of love, luck and strength, Cas

That was a nice thing you did, doing up all those treat bags. Bet people love being around you. I see a lot of unhappiness in society these days but then when we come across someone like you it feels really great.  :thx;
