Well after a bad stick day yesterday, today was better but sticking through the bruises hurt, the girl that usually sticks me was back an I did ok. After missing a day of hemo it zapped me pretty good, buy the first of my long term disability checks was in the mail when I arrived home so I figured it was a pretty good after all.

Good to hear the news, oleboy!  Hang in there!

Marvin wants to know if you're using anything to numb the site before you go to dialysis.  (Marvin uses lidacaine cream, and it works wonders for him -- even on a sore arm).
