Good for you jb. I have been thinking about for my self. I hate needles but i now look at them different. The fact that i look at them at all says allot.
Logged

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Goofynina and Epoman - Gone But Not Forgotten

« Reply #14 on: June 24, 2007, 05:01:50 AM »

This is a real encouragement to me.  Epoman was the first person who even introduced this idea to me that someone could do their own needles.  I have always found it difficult even to contemplate.  There is a young lady in my unit who does her own needles.   I would love to, but..............
Anyway, thanks for sharing. This is just another little push for me (but I am pushing back as hard as I can  ;D).
