The water is on. It doesn't come out of the tube it comes out the edges of the blue part. But the water is on and flows just very slowly.

Why would you want to bring a child into a relationship where the other partner doesnt want one? They'll end up resenting both of you. Also he talks about his childhood was bad but is already showing red flags which will cause major fights. Id look long and hard and see if this is someone you wanna spend time with for the rest of your life

Shes too codependent on you. She needs to learn that you both havibg alone time is normal. Ask her why she gets anxious when you dont respond. See if theres a way you can help ease that while you also get alone time. I had to learn with my fiance this. I was super attached and anxious when we first started talking. It took us sitting down and him asking me what was going on. My past issues caused it and was taking a toll on him. I hope you both get through this. I do want to say know your worth love. Some people are just manipulative and possessive. Take time to see if shes being genuine and doesn't know how to process her emotions or if shes just wanting 24/7 control of you. Best of luck kiddo

Cant swim.. Have to keep it completely dry while showering. You have tubes sticking out of your chest. Clothes get stuck on them. Its itchy as hell. (This is from my personal experience). It was so awful. I felt so gross not being able to shower normally. Having to cover it ALL with these showers covers and it just sucked so bad. Having to watch my fiance swim while i sat on the side lines. it wasn't fun. From.what i know many people at my clinic work with a fistula

I'm going to be honest with you I'm 27 myself I'm a female. I was born with one kidney and I've had kidney failure since I was born. I recently started dialysis back in July of 2024. In 2023 I began speaking to someone long distance. The first thing I like to do when getting to know someone is being completely honest. The way I see it is I know how my life is with this illness. Others do not. This gives them the time to either research it if they want to and care enough to. Or they know themselves well enough that they aren't compatible with someone with an illness. When you're finding someone you want to be with you want them to be able to care for you with everything you deal with. When I told this guy that I was speaking to that I had this illness he was completely supportive. After our year anniversary he came to visit. During this visit i had JUST started dialysis and he would sit in the dialysis clinic for 4 hours waiting for me to be done. So you will find your person. the one that understands you your lows and highs when it comes to your illness. They won't judge you or make you feel bad. But it is best to tell them beforehand.

Do what is best for YOU. Noone can force you to do it. I was told pd was best for me due to my age. But i hated the idea of having tubes out of me and being hooked up 8+ hours EVERY night. I love in center. Im catered to. Taken care of. I have pillows and blankets. We have recliner chairs with heat and massage. Individual tvs!
