Let’s listen to the feelings of these patients who are undergoing home peritoneal dialysis treatment!
patient Uncle Ma
56-year-old Uncle Ma, who is undergoing peritoneal dialysis at home for two years and one month.
"I had more than 1,000 creatinine at the beginning. When I was diagnosed with uremia, I was very scared. The doctor told me that there were several treatment options and I didn't know how to choose. Considering that I lived in , Xibei Township, , I chose to undergo peritoneal dialysis treatment. Now I am alone at home, cooking and washing clothes by myself every day, and occasionally dancing to music. I can't do it even if I don't eat or not!"
patient Yao Bo,
59, has been treated at home for two years.
"I haven't been hospitalized in the past two years, and every review of all indicators is OK." This time, because I came to the hospital for review, I consulted Dr. Deng while talking about my situation.
"Your mental state looks good, and you don't have any other discomforts such as edema. Continue to do peritoneal dialysis at home." Dr. Deng told Yao Bo after the examination.
patient Aunt Kang
51-year-old Aunt Kang has been undergoing peritoneal dialysis at home for one year and two months.
"At first, I thought this was very troublesome and I couldn't accept it at all. I had never read a book and could not remember the steps, so I asked my wife to help me do it. Later, the nurse encouraged me, just like cooking at home, doing whatever I wanted, but it was just necessary to keep hygiene. I tried to do it myself, and now my skills are much better than my wife's! I am cooking and washing clothes at home every day. My wife comes back from farm work outside. At least the door at home is open, and there are hot rice and hot dishes to eat, which is better than anything else."
patient Zhou Bo,
57, has been undergoing peritoneal dialysis at home for more than three years.
"This time, because the nurse notified me to come to the hospital to change the peritoneal dialysis external short tube, I was sick and took care of myself at home. Every time I did peritoneal dialysis at home, I easily forgot the time, so I set an alarm clock. The children are very busy working outside. Our elderly at home take good care of themselves, which is the biggest reduction of their burden."
patient, Sister Zheng
43, Sister Zheng, who is undergoing peritoneal dialysis at home for one year and two months.
came to the hospital for reexamination today, and the nurse smiled and said, "Sister Zheng almost recognized you, you look very good!" "Yes, I gained weight after being discharged from the hospital. Many people said that I couldn't tell that I was a patient! Now I accompany me to study with me every day, so I cook for my child. Time flies very quickly!"
