CLOSED - FRIDGE IS LOST *FREE ALL STAR Saved a Sinking FRIDGE & Coffee Pot Swap!!!

I'm a dialysis technician.. go figure...
I've been a tech for a little over 12 years now, and trust me, most are stubborn, yes, but they honestly make for the most fun patients, too. Tell him we aren't that bad...

I will certainly tell him while I'm there but not sure it will do any good. Part of the problem is he watched his mother go thru dialysis back in the OLD days (like, over 50 years ago) and those memories are not good ones. Can I ship him to you? LOL!

and I can only imagine what memories he has of dialysis. It was just starting back then and the machines were huge!
Technology has taken over, machines are a lot more efficient, and it isn't as bad as it once was.. I have TONS of older patients who don't want to be here (old farmers, some bikers, a retired cop, lots of different personalities) and they all sit around talking about it, how they hate being her. Then they'll sit and talk about something the 'grand kids' were doing over the weekend, and how being here is worth it.
Good luck with it, and him, and everything.

Difficult on multiple levels. These are my Dad's parents who didn't want much to do with my sister and I after our Mom divorced their son and moved us to Oregon several years later. My boys (13 and 16) have only met them once and my sister hasn't seen them in over 15 years. But it's family and I think it's important that the 4 generations spend some time together before it's too late. Our father is flying up from New Mexico so it will be a multi-generational dysfunction party !!

Grandpa has only had 1 kidney since he was a very young man. He is now 89 and in kidney failure. Too old for transplant and too stubborn for dialysis.

Ok, thanks for listening to my rambling....

Gina, How are you holding up? Sometimes it is better to just let go! I know that my MIL would have choosen to live but her body had other ideas and she was very much at peace with it, It was a matter of being at peace with her future and what her quailty of life would be. She was only in pain for just a few days. Her transition was quick and peaceful.

I am praying for God's will, which isn't always healing. I will pray that you find peace and healing in the past, as well as, in your future. Lois

Important Reminder: If you are leaving the fridge in storage for the next person, its is EXTREMELY important to begin defrosting the fridge/freezer the day before. Otherwise the next swapper gets a smelly fridge full of moldy/mildewy water.

July 17-25 is OPEN!!!
August 1-11 is OPEN!!!

Well it looks like if no one picks it up July 17, I'll be next!!!! Who will give Grandma4ever my info? It looks like she is already there. I'm a little nervous. Should I get the person who will have it behind me. I can't believe no one wants that frig that week. That is just crazy to me!!!!

Grandma4ever aka Lois has all of your info. I have her cell # should we be able to fill in some of the gap. No one is signed up after you either and I will be in touch regarding who you will swap to.

How exciting for you!!!

SWAPPERS: djm99 brings up a good point.

I work very hard on keeping everyone up to date with who they are swapping from and too. BUT last Friday night I drove myself to the ER and had emergency surgery that night and just got home after 6 days in the hospital. I would hate for the swap to go haywire just because I am out of pocket for a bit.

Soooo, should you not know the info for the swap, and you have not heard from me, please refer to page #1, post #1 and send a PM to the DIS'er on either side of you.

Ok, just to vent. Guess what day my 90 days ADR mark was?? Yep, July 4th, which I missed because I was having surgery!! Uggh. I got home this morning and made my ressies online and fortunately didn't have any problems getting what we wanted. I just can't believe my luck sometimes!
