So it’s more than six months since I received my wonderful new kidney.

….and I haven’t been autocad architecture 2012 back to the dialysis centre to clean out my locker, much less visit the autocad architecture 2012 people I spent so much time with there.

What’s up with that?

My wife keeps nagging me to autocad architecture 2012 go back and visit the people I dialysed with. I just don’t seem to autocad architecture 2012 be able to do it. When I was on dialysis, I used to autocad architecture 2012 joke with the nurses:

When I get my transplant, you’ll never see me again. I’ve spent enough time here for a hundred lifetimes.

Of course, at the autocad architecture 2012 time, I was joking, but now that the time has come, I simply refuse to autocad architecture 2012 go. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the autocad architecture 2012 people at dialysis. Maybe they weren’t the kind of people I would choose to autocad architecture 2012 socialise with, but we were all making the best of a autocad architecture 2012 bad situation, and hence got along reasonably well.

I think part of the reason I can’t bring myself to go back is my memories of when people I’d dialysed with got transplants, and autocad architecture 2012 came back to visit. I always (obviously misguidedly) thought that autocad architecture 2012 they were coming back to gloat. Whilst this was clearly not the autocad architecture 2012 case, I’d still pretend to be asleep to avoid the uncomfortable conversation:

Me: So How’s it going?

Them: Fifteen minute summary of every blood test they’d ever had autocad architecture 2012 since the transplant, plus a summary of all the things they could now do / eat / drink that they couldn’t before (and I still couldn’t do)

Me: Cool

Them: So what about you?

Me: Same shit, different day.

Uncomfortable silence

Them: Cool, well, better go talk to (insert name of patient on my left)

I just have more respect for the daily struggle in these people’s lives to put them through something like that.
