Of Being A Dialysis Patient

I cannot sleep in this hour so to make myself sleepy. I need to fill this portion of my Blog.

Today I will tell you what..

As I always says, being a dialysis patient is never easy because you need to deal with different kinds of preventative measures. From your water intake, food input and of course your health condition.

I never like the idea of this treatment maybe because no one educate me on how this treatment will work and of what I heard about it, and when the Doctor told me that this is the last resort I have. I have no choice but to take it and envelope my life to this threatening ordeal.

Anyway, let me take you back.



This is me when I was still enjoying life and what it could offer. So I say, when I was still healthy.

And this is me in my first month of taking the treatment. The one that you see in my neck is my AVF where tubes are inserted for my blood to clean.


And this is my Fistula in my right arm. They need to transfer the outgoing and incoming of the blood for me to prevent infections. It hurts pretty bad, I know. :)

See that? That is how it needs to be done. That's the tube and my blood. 

This is what I get if one of the nurse didn't do their job well. I will get a swolen arm and I need to wait for another week to use it again. 

This is me during my treatment, as you can see in my right side is the machine that helps me clean my blood from toxic and it helps to take away my excess water in my blood. 

The place where I need to be treated. (Mindanao Dialysis Center) They are equipped with the latest machine. 

The lobby where we have to wait for our turn for our treatment, bloody cold in here. 

The inside of the Center.

The center is my second home. I have my session every Monday and Thursday from 6 Pm to 10 Pm. A four hours treatment that sometimes will bore me to death. Thanks for the Tv and for the pocket wifi, it helps me a lot not to think about the long process. 

To end this post, here's my selfie. 

Taken last night with my new eye glass. :) 

To God be the glory.

One words Day

I'm so inspired to write some poetry today. It's like words come right through me. But I'm not a good writer just like anybody. I'm just trying to be like one and will never stop writing as long as I live. Learning the basic is what I'm doing now. Inspired by those local and individual who loves to write. I have here two of my writings. I know its not constructed but that's poetry right? More misery in its words. I also discovered my new fave author though I haven't got a chance to read her book but read some of her passage and poems. And I'm looking forward to have her books. Anyway, here's my two piece of my written words. More writings from me.. Till then.

Look who's back with a BANG!

And I'm back here.  The last time I fueled this page was last year.  What's new? Same thing the usual.  I'm still the sick me.  How I wish I can tell myself, hey' I'm back from the normal person I am. The happy outgoing me.  Actually, there is something new about me.  I'm no longer the person who likes to go outside, instead, I'm becoming a cavewoman.  The only place where I'm comfortable walking around in the center where I have my treatment. Since I was confined last April and June, my body became proportional, my face is kind of bloated and I'm having a hard time standing straight and even walking straight. I know that these are the changes you have once your body is no longer having the mutual understanding of all the components needed in your body. This year, my calcium was less, phosphorous is still high - when can I get this lower. I did a test for my iPTh and I've got 500 plus which is not as bad as they said but my body is gettin...
