you might be a dialysis patient if you reminisce about the "good old days" when you hear someone peeing in the next stall
restroom duty makes you cry
you can't cross stitch anymore -- you can not stand to see another needle
you like your 6 ounces of water served in a frosty mug

You might be a dialysis patient if you gain 10-15 pounds of fluid over the weekend. . . It happened to me in 1983 when I was first diagnosed but not on the 'renal' diet yet. Nobody told me not to eat watermelon!  NolaGail |

You may be a dialysis patient if you can't understand people who think a fistula thrill is gross while you think it's one of the most thrilling, reassuring things on the planet.

oh no, no, no,no, never I am referring to a post Flip made on the redneck dailysis thread about being allowed a spit cup. I placed this on the wrong thread. reminds me- we had a new teacher from up north and she found an old referral on a male student - he was dipping in class - she thought he was dancing in class dipping is chewing snuff and spitting it out in a cup, bottle, jar, sidewalk, someone's shoes  |

. . . when someone asks you for the best place in town to get smoothies, you haven't got a clue who even serves them. Drink menu? Why would I read that? Kind of like asking a long time AA member to suggest a good place for a nice bottle of wine. . . .  |
