Kidney Dialysis

My father is suffering from high blood pressure. A few years ago, the doctor told my father that his kidney was not functioning very well and the toxic level inside his blood was too high and he should maintain a healthier lifestyle or there will be a possibility of kidney dialysis. My family then encourage my father to retire as all his children had grown up and finacially stable.

My father took our advices and was resting at home after his retirement. However his condition did not improve. A few days ago, when we accompanied my father to SGH for check up, the doctor told us that my fahter's kidneys is failing and the toxic inside his blood was very high. The doctor instructed my father to be warded immedialety for kidney dialysis, because if there is any delay, it might be life threatening.

My father is worried.

The hospital told us that after my father discharge from the hospital, he should continue the dialysis at private dialysis centre, before the NKF approved our application for NKF subsidy. The estimated cost of the dialysis is about S$2500 to S$3000 per month. This is a huge amount, considering that I am the sole bread winner for my family. Thankfully, I got the suport from my family and dear. Hoped that we could overcome this matter as a family:)
