Help get me home Mood
Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Call For Help story

 I was very excited about preparing to start training for Nxstage home hemo,I figured it would partially give me and my family oour lives back. My wife said that she couldnot be my partner because she is deathly afraid of needles and the sight of blood. I am so afraid that I will be tied to that chair forever. I have pleaded with her and she won't change her mind. Can anyone think of what I can say or do to get her past this fear. Please let me know

    my husband has been on dialysis for nearly seven years...it's like a prison sentence almost. i don't know what you can say to her...it's something only she can fix. is there someone else that could be your partner?

    Jcos you can stick yourself. The only thing she will be there for is if you have an emergency and she needs to call 911. They told me if Charley couldn't stick me I could. He just has to be there in an emergency. If it's a place you can reach do it yourself. Tell them that you prefer to stick yourself that's all!!!
    Good Luck Bud :)Sue
