This will be my second Christmas on dialysis. Holidays are tough, aren't they? I sure wouldn't recommend sitting it out, though. I love Christmas too much to miss out on the get-togethers with family. Besides, you'll just sit at home feeling sorry for yourself and who wants to do that for Christmas? What are the foods that give you the most trouble? Can you find substitutes for them? Like you said the fruit cup and potato chips ... maybe a fruit cup that is made without the high-potassium fruits? But give yourself one with apples, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, etc? And have corn chips or popcorn instead of potato chips? Can your family make some accommodations for you? Can you bring a couple of dishes (things that other people will also find delicious) that you can share? Last year, I made do with turkey, gravy, stuffing, green beans and fruit pie. My sister-in-law is a sweetheart, so she soaked her potatoes before cooking them for mashed. No one knew the difference. I hope my suggestions help a little bit. At least you know you're not alone. And check out my web page ... I have a blog devoted to dialysis-friendly recipes. Let me know what you think. And hang in there. Hi Stu, I’m kind of new to your blog.
