YOU are NOT damaged goods. Everyone faces their struggles....some are more visible than others. I would say....you are worthy of love and that you have freely given it already (adopting children) and you obviously have a personality that attracts the interest of both male and females. You mentioned you befriended a female tech after you moved away....so I would say YOU are a pretty special person. Don't sell yourself short. You are deserving of love, kindness and compassion...just as we all are.
Enjoy the great company at dialysis....It allows you to look forward to your sessions....I am sure you two, or you will figure it all out. You've got this!!!! :bandance;

Beth, I would agree that you are not damaged goods. Like most people at some point, you have put your heart out and had it broken. The old saying about better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, while painful, is true. Life is so much better when you actually live it. Unfortunately, that means at times being hurt or disappointed. But, as most on dialysis know too well, it means getting up, dusting off, and going on. All of us were gobsmacked, I sm sure, when first told our kidneys had failed and we needed dialysis, but you adjust and go on with life. Tragically, some are unable or unwilling to adjust, ad I dare say we all have seen the results in our clinics. Any way, do not view yourself as less than becuase you are on dialysis. Make whatevedr adjustments have to be made, and go on living life for all the diversity it holds.

At DaVita clinics, there are written rules against fraternizing between staff and patients. You could end up getting him fired.

I agree that you're absolutely worthy of love.  You sound like an awesome person.  Lots of chronically ill patients have good and enduring relationships with great people.  I think you should look elsewhere.

I think I've come to the realization that it's not going to happen for me.  I'm a disabled single mom to 2 kids.  I don't work.  I don't go to bars.  I refuse to try internet dating again.  It's either going to happen naturally somewhere or it's not.  And it hasn't happened yet.
