How do you like my new decor? It's the therapy look. Pictured here is the cycler, the machine I hook up to at night. Also the side table that I used at first, before I bought my spiffy therapy table on wheels, with shelves for surgical masks, gynecological towelettes for cleaning my hands before hooking up; clamps; gauze; hydrogen peroxide; rolls and rolls of medical tape; and a dialysis bag connector.
And here's the collection jug and the container with bleached, white towels that I place on my lap when doing the hook-up so that the transfer set doesn't rub up against my germ-laden attire. One towel per day because any item that sits out collects dirt and germs.
On the days I took these photos, my supplies were tucked under my bed. But when I receive an order of dialysis bags, antibacterial caps for the transfer set, tubing, and all the rest, not everything fits under the bed, and I have boxes stacked in the living room and up against the bedroom walls. I asked for and was granted a bimonthly--rather than a monthly--shipment. Thank goodness because otherwise there would be no room for me inside my apartment!
