Don't worry, Twirl. Ike will cause no harm. After all, he's a Republican hurricane.

When someone asks you your weight, you ask them "What day of the week, and what time of day?"

Nope, Ike is coming to rid us of the Military industrial complex he warned us about.

When your hand cramps it looks like you are throwing up gang signs. . . . . .

When your calf cramps you don't say "oww" you say "look at that definition". . . . . .

When your Dialysis Center has Fantasy Football based on Phos someone brings in ice cream for the other teams. . . . . .(true story)

When someone mentions the "thrill" of life you ask "graft" or "fistula". . . .

OH MY GOD!  I saw a roach in my new center the other night. I was freaking out!  The nurse tried to get it, but it disappeared.   I warned them if I saw it again I would levitate out of there.

this could go under redneck dialysis patient
during IKE I had to tape my arm with duct tape
it was dark and 4:30 am and no electricity and that is all I could find

another thing that could be redneck or regular
I took snacks from the MRE
there were 2 one ounce packages of Shock-it  chocolate covered coffee beans
wow--------- it was hard to stay in that chair and they were good :yahoo;
never heard of them before

When  your friends talk about dialysis from the previous nights tv show you have to point out the numerous misconceptions that appeared in the show.

You might be a dialysis patient if you know someone very well, yet you have never met their family or been to their home, but you know everything about them because you see each other 3 times a week. These friendships can be very intimate, but may be short too.

You might be a dialysis patient if your friend on IHD.com are very real to you and you talk about them with other people like you have met them and know them,.
