DAY 12 DIALYSIS

This is Tony hooked up to the Dialysis machine that keeps him alive. Every 48 hours Tony must be connected for a period of about 4 hours under monitored supervision. Sitting in the corner of the room is a specialist watching Tony for any irregularities as the Dialysis machine filters his bloodstream. The good blood goes through while the waste from the bloodstream is separated and discarded by the machine. This machine on the right side of Tony is about 5 feet tall. Tony now has 2 permanent implants in his chest, one that his blood flows out of the other is for the input of the filtered blood. Doctors installed these blood tubes that flow directly to Tony's heart. Also it's a risky for tony to shave his face because this opening is so close and direct to his heart and blood stream, any water or hair particles could become a problem if it was to get in this area.

Health insurance should be available for all Americans!!

Talk to your Congressman, Senator, and tell them we need health insurance reform. Don't go by what you hear on Faux News. Tony wouldn't be going through this if we had reform.

It's bullshit how such a "1st world country" like ours has a regular, hard working man wiped out, fighting to stay alive, simply because he can't get insurance. It's disgusting.

With the money that has been made in Vegas a few years ago and will be made in the future, the clubs and hotels should step up and pay for health insurance for their employees, even those that bring them business like the hosts and event planners.
