Life is fleeting.. Be present
Tomorrow is promised , not guaranteed , and whether we are present or not , the sun will still rise tomorrow ... Be present , experience every little bit .
This is called a HAEMODIALYSIS CATHETER.
It is for patients undergoing dialysis.
It is inserted into a patient's chest through the internal jugular vein.
The red port cannula is the arterial lumen that draws deoxygenated blood out of the patient's body and sends it to the dialysis machine for cleaning.
The blue cannula is the venous lumen that carries cleaned, filtered blood from the dialysis machine back into the patient's bloodstream.
This catheter stays in a patient's body for 6 - 12 weeks, or even longer, depending on medical decisions, before being replaced with a permanent fistula.
A healthy kidney filters your blood 400 times per day, while a dialysis machine does so only 2 times a week, for about 5 hours per session.
Dialysis patients have to arrive at the renal unit as early as 3 am, twice a week.
Not even a dialysis machine can replace the efficiency of a healthy kidney.
Therefore, take care of your kidneys.

Your grandma’s bread had 4 ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast.
Today’s bread has over 30 ingredients: bleached flour, glyphosate, high fructose, corn syrup, azodicarbonamide, preservatives, emulsifier, conditioners etc etc
Grace is such a nice aura to have. You do the bare minimum, and great things just fall into place for you automatically. No extra hustle whatsoever. Honestly, I wanna be that.
