Hemodialysis Machine what is all about? It is a machine used in dialysis that filters a patient's blood to remove excess water and waste products when the kidneys are damaged, dysfunctional, or missing.
In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and filtered through a man-made membrane called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, and then the filtered blood is returned to the body. The average person has about 10 to 12 pints of blood; during dialysis only one pint (about two cups) is outside of the body at a time.
Iam with the Machine, March 2017 when i was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease and need to be on dialysis weather Peretoneal or Hemodialysis. The doctor advised me to choose which one i preferred, i decided to choose Hemodialysis, so the doctor immediately send me to the operating room for the insertion of Internal Jugular Catheter or IJ Catheter in my neck and started Hemodialysis as soon the catheter is ok. Being a patient i need to listen to what the doctor says about my illness he ask my companion to be attentive at all time for what i eat, for what i drink and all medicine must take on time. Instructed me not to go back to my work so i decided to file an indefinite leave of absence so that i can fix myself and back to life again.
After i discharge we immediately search for hospital who cater hemodialysis, luckily i got slot to one of the nearest hospital in our place. I consider the hospital second home for the past years of my dialysis, People judge me for what happen to me and on every session people around me sees me with no different from other illnesses maybe the only difference is that iam still alive, iam still feel how iam important to others, how they love me, cared for me etc. This is why i have lots of reason to be strong and fight this no cure illness, for the span of near 4 years on Hemodialysis i make sure that i dont have problem with anything because it could worsen my kidneys but being alive is burden to my loveone, struggle in all like money to buy meds....money to pay bills in hospital and so on. The only thing i enjoy is that i have lots of friends, family & loveone who support me not only in financial aspects but morally and being with me all the time when i needed them beside me... And that simple gesture of care for me is like a pill of happiness, it boost my energy and eagerness to be alive... be with them a lil longer even iam with the machine.... 😘😍🥰
