The dialysis maching above with tubes attached. I have learnt to set the machine up which often saves time.
This is called the kidney. It basically does the job of the kidney using osmosis and diffusion. It draws the waste that your kidney get rid of and it also removes water.
My arm - you can see the bump (vein) and the red marks where they place the needles.
All hooked up - the blood leaves through the bottom needle and returns through the top needle.
The machine working...

Don't be worried about stating Dialysis. It's after ou've been on it for 5 years that you'll really go mental. Oh and drink everything you can now cause after treament starts it's only 24 oz a day for all liquids.
