I am still watching this interview. Tom said the he's in dialysis 3 days a week for 4 hours a session. This is a big fucking deal! I know from my wife's time doing dialysis. Four hours means more like 6 hours when you add the travel and the time it takes to get hooked up and at the conclusion unhooked from the machine. It burns an entire day. Besides, dialysis wipes a person out. They are pretty much done for that day. Tom is a lot younger than my wife was when she was in dialysis, so he probably has more fortitude and stamina to continue on. My wife was completely done with it after only a few months and decided this was not the way she wanted to spend the rest of her life. I think Tom is a trooper. Should he ever decide to end dialysis, his kidney will shut down. then his other organs will and he will be dead withing a week or two. Sad....very, very sad. Fortunately, it is not a painful way to die, according to my wife's nephrologist.
