Hello Everyone,
Boy what a baddd >:( day that I had at my dialysis session.I might say that there were couples things that the tech. had done right.Once again,she allowed me to go out of the treatment room with a bloody mess on my arm.Good thing there's a restroom near the waiting room.I was able to clean up my arm.Plus I started having those muscle cramps toward the end of my session.I asked the tech.to please let me sit up.I wasn't sure if she was going to do this or not.Cause of the muscle cramps I had some problems walking up to the parking lot.My body felt as if it has been drain of some energy.I usually take 2 hour nap after I had some lunch.Due to the muscle cramps in my legs.I was able to sleep for 1 hour.
My dialysis center would NOT PASS any inspection at all.The treatment room is a complete MESS.Tho floor looks like someone has been playing with paintball guns.Most of trash cans are NOT within reach of the patients.There are times that I'm SCARE to go to dialysis.Cause I never know when I'll have good service.Thanks for letting me vent my 2 cents :oops; :oops;

Thansk to All  that have responded.I've started a letter of complaint.Inwhich will be in tomorrow mail with NO return address on the envelope.My boyfriend suggested that I write down everything that I know is WRONG with my dialysis center.I know for certain my dialysis center would NOT PASS any Miltary inspection of cleaning up.I have made up my mind that I REFUSE to allow anyone of the staff to lower my self-esteem.I'm quite PROUD of myself :cheer: :boxing; :2thumbsup;for making it to the Offical kidney transplant list.Sure the road to this was long & hard road to go up & down.Not many people at my dialysis center get this far.I'm going to be taking a pack of handiwipes with me.Thanks for allowing me to vent my disappointment :twocents; :twocents;here.
