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.

Nai and Tai - a sad story.

Once a upon a time, there was Nai and Tai.  Nai is young, not pretty or ugly, joyful, friendly, bubbly, high spirited girl.  Tai is young too, smart, dedicated, friendly, handsome and tall.  They met during Nai's 1st year in college, and Tai is second year in college. Nai got Tai's attention during ROTC reception when Nai was called by one of the superior.  That's how it was all started.  Tai went to Nai's room to check on her everyday.  Then one night Tai asked Nai to be his girlfriend.  On Nai's Birthday they became lovers instantly.  They we're both happy sharing moments like forever. Tai is very much in love to Nai.  He wrote poems to Nai and tell how he's very delightful of her being his girlfriend.  Trials came into their relationship.  Tai is very sad when Nai broke up with her.  Its not that Nai doesn't love Tai anymore it just that circumstances need them to be apart.  Tai tried every thing to win back Nai.  Nai tried to walk a

Overflowing

It must be great if I am, but I'm not. Now I believe I was born for this. Health is always been an issue to me since last year. I thought this year will give me luck, unfortunately it's still the same as last year. I mean I can easily get cough and flu, and the worst is, it will never get easily be treated. Like it will last a week or two. Also money issue. Of course it is. I should be happy because I can get help from my Fraternity but it's not enough. I mean if you sum it up it's not enough for my daily medications. And it doesn't mean I am not thankful. I am. Okay. One of my friend stop her assistant for me. It makes me sad because it helps a lot, and I do understand her. She also need to feed her family here. Now I don't know how to start. I'm thinking to go back to work. Maybe that's the last thing I need to do, to supply my needs and my treatment. For now I still need to get this bloated tummy away first before I hit the ran way.
