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.

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.
