cost of living

it has been two years since my last entry an almost two and a half years since i have been diagnosed with end stage renal failure. 2 and a half years .. spending 10 hours of each week plugged to a machine designed to filter out the excess water and toxins from your blood, not to mention the cost of the procedure and the meds that goes with it. which is..

P 1,500/week - anti-hypertensives
P 1,000/dialysis session - epoetin (hormone that triggers your marrow to produce blood cells)
P 1,850/session - dialysis fee
P 1,000/5 sessions - dialyser (your temporary kidney)

oh well...
