    Awareness of CKD is highly important. When I informed my x manager at work in a Rotherham labour council children's home that I had to start dialysis within 2 weeks he made me walk through the home singing dead man walking and laughing. He got all the children and other staff to laugh at me before getting me in the office and threatening me with the sack and asking if I'm a liar. He then proceeded to phone me or my dialysis unit every dialysis session for 3 weeks demanding I prove I was on a machine or be sacked. I tried to make a complaint but was told ' you have had one dialysis session. You must be cured. Why do you need more dialysis and why can't you work full time. We have no qualified staff' Then more threats of being sacked if I didn't stop attending dialysis. Horrible horrible experience...

    I personally think having ramps that are either very short or just have everything on one level is more "Universal" design. Even if there was landings between sections of long ramps would be good. Its hard for people that can walk to go on ramps, let alone people wheelchair bound to push themselves up the incline with so many curves. Most people cant afford a power wheelchair to go up those long a$$ ramps. Also elevators shouldnt be the only way to get to each floor incase it stops working, my college has newer buildings where each floor has a door that leads to the outside parking lot.

    Hi Stephanie. I am a democrat with morals. I just saw your commercial about voting laws. You said Republicans want to make it harder for minorities to vote. In all good conscience I cannot vote for you. I did a lot of research on the subject and while I don't like Republicans I like liars even less. You lied on national tv about the voting laws Republicans are trying to implement. They are designed to make the elections free of cheating. No way does it make it more difficult for anyone to vote. You either don't know what they are attempting to pass or you are a liar. Either way that disqualifies you from getting my vote. Truly shameful what has become of our government. I'm not going to vote R, I'm just not going to vote, it's too hard. Please , exercise honesty, morals and character when running for office. Every politician must have those qualities. Unfortunately very few do.
