RE: Dear Diary: Things That I Am Grateful for Today
I know that toxic feeling. Sorry you were feeling like that way.
It's a weird relationship with "the machine". You despise it so much at times, yet if it wasn't there you'd be dead. You have no choice but to be thankful for it.
I think the people who invented the dialysis machine will go to heaven. The thing saved countless lives already.
I had suffered to that toxic feeling @lizzyib for many years. T_T
There MUST be a way to make a dialysis machine that does not make you sick, some way to replicate the kidneys function, i read that dialysis is only replicating 10% of the kidney function, we need to work on medical technology with more labs and more people who can just sit around all day and do work and experiments and we just need open source science and enough money to support people who can do science and work on this stuff,
Yes dialysis machine cannot take out some toxin substances that makes people ill in the long run and it only somewhat prolongs the life of a patient, not a replacement because kidneys have a lot of function besides taking extra water from the body.
We wish for scientists to discover a kidney replacement though but maybe in other ways better than dialysis is ok too.
