No snakes!  Keep the snakes away!



You might be a long term dialysis patient if you walk by a spider in the dialysis unit turn to the nurse and calmly say, there is a spider over there! instead of freaking out.

You might be a dialysis patient if

Your nurses ask you how you are losing so much weight and want to know what the trick is so they can try it and you say : the renal diet,  at which point the glimmer in their eyes dulls as they know they will not try it.

The big needles do not bother you, but when they come at you with a little needle you whimper and cry.

You might be a dialysis patient...
   when you leave the room where someone is eating lunch because they have a  gallon jug of water sitting in front of them and are drinking it.  SLURP!

You might be a dialysis patient if.......

                                                 you consume thousands of milligrams of calcium supplements daily.
                                                 
                                                you get weird looks leaving the supermarket with a trolley full of bleach and paper towel.

                                               your recycling bin is full of cardboard boxes and plastic packaging instead of empty beer cans.
