I thought I had a big pretty bedroom. The room is about 16X22. A large queen bed and a antique dresser and chest with room for 2 old trunks in the room. One wall of book shelves for pictures and special things. You would think that would be enough room for dialysis supplies but it isn't. Supplies are in other rooms also. The old trunks are gone and Gary has a hospital bed right under all those shelves. I don't think you can see it in the pictures. His small supplies are stored on the shelves. Tons of them, mask, gloves, alcohol pads, iodine prep pads, 4X4s, sponges, 4 boxes syringes, antibacterial soaps and jels, paper towels for our hands, can't use towels because of germs. Just lots of stuff all over the house. The problem is our floors. In our bedroom alone here in this picture are 80 boxes that weigh 25 pounds each. That is 2000 lbs witch equals a ton on my wood floors. They were against a inside wall till I became worried about the bracing under the house. So I waited till the end of the month when his supplies are at the lowest and moved all of them against a outside wall. We are going to have to repair the bracing under the house now. We had a man come out yesterday to look and sure enough he thinks we have problems underneath. He will be back this week to see what it will take to brace the floors up and repair what has been done. When you live on Social Security these kind of things scare you to death.
Some people are able to store supplies in a garage that has heating and cooling. For myself I am not strong enough to bring those boxes into the house they are heavy, don't have a heated garage anyway.lol
So just a picture or two of some of the supplies you have on PD dialysis.
Everyone have a great day, Judy
