you hate to go to other medical appointments during the week.

You do not know the actual date, you just know either it is a dialysis day or it is not a dialysis day.

You might be a dialysis patient if you occasionally spend your free time browsing the medical supply aisle of your local pharmacy or medical supply and equipment websites. (I'm guilty of this)

...you go to Walgreens to buy ice because they have the best eating ice in town. The kind that crunches instead of breaking your teeth.  And you know this because you have tried all the ice in town already. AND you only buy ice, nothing else!

...if sleeping is sometimes the highlight of your day and no one understands why!

...if you think phosphorus is the best meal ever!

...if you're a size 2 like me and on off treatment days  (for the black girls) i feel "thick", with a big butt and hips. lol

...if you think a single drop of urine is a miricle (and you think theres hope that your kidneys will kick back in.)

...on m-w-f, or- t-t-s are considered "goin to work".

oh gosh. how many can i think of! i have like 13 years worth of jokes!

You might be a (hemo) dialysis patient if your laptop computer has a blood stain on the top of it and you think nothing of it (Yup, I'm a hemodialysis patient, alright).

Can I jump in here?  *grins*  Newbie at this but found a few things out since I started dating Keith.

Might be a dialysis patient's girlfriend..

If you think "wow! the toilet seat really does stay down" when you don't fall into it in the middle of the night!

You know he likes the lazy boy for comfort and your mind goes to the gutter with other ideas for it! :shy;

You reschedule your sleep time to match your honey's so you can be with him and not be cranky..(and I can get cranky if I don't get enough sleep!)

You take advantage of his naps to get things done while he sleeps.

You learn there are different types of ice chips!

You learn what dry weight is, how to convert to kilo's, read the food and recepie section, learn what each med is for.

You catch yourself moaning about a simple pain and realize its silly.

You time him and know exactly how many spoonfulls of ice cream you can eat right out of the container before he's done with his bath/shower..
(but the taste on your lips give you away!!!!- )

You consider not replacing your motorcycle that has seen better days cause the IHD gang is watching and waiting knowing you are a card carrying donor and on the bone marrow registry.  YIKES!!!!!!!!!! :rofl;
