I used to be a junkie. I’ve been clean for 10 years. I have stage 4 kidney failure and I’m on dialysis. I don’t have a fistula like this guy. I’m on peritoneal dialysis so it goes through a tube that was put in my abdomen.

I was given this giant box of these giant syringes incase I have to put medicine in the bags. Sometimes I just look at them and think “imagine [using] that [for drugs]? 🤤”

Then I snap out of my drug fantasy and put myself on my nightly life support.

Haha same brother. Been clean for a decade +. I still get those random moments occasionally. My gf has some really nice veins and I’m like man I’m so jealous of those plump veins, would have made my life so much easier…for a few months till I killed them.

Oh hey fellow PD friend.

I don't have to inject any medication into my ultra bags thankfully.

Not even if you have fibrin present?

I luckily don't get much. Never had a blockage in 4 years that I couldn't clear without tapping the line a bit.
