00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.610
When I went into kidney failure, I was told I

NOTE Confidence: 0.9566256403923035

00:00:03.689 --> 00:00:07.101
had to start dialysis and that I was a good

NOTE Confidence: 0.9566256403923035

00:00:07.180 --> 00:00:09.720
candidate for home hemodialysis.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9644590020179749

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.360
I did not know anything about home hemodialysis.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9641044735908508

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:17.034
I didn't even know it was possible to do dialysis

NOTE Confidence: 0.9641044735908508

00:00:17.106 --> 00:00:17.680
at home.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8231800198554993

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.113
My name is Shanine and I'm a home hemodialysis patient

NOTE Confidence: 0.8231800198554993

00:00:22.193 --> 00:00:23.000
at DaVita.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9641112685203552

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:33.886
I was really excited at the opportunity to be able

NOTE Confidence: 0.9641112685203552

00:00:33.976 --> 00:00:36.040
to do dialysis at home.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9590283036231995

00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.841
It was going to give me the opportunity to have

NOTE Confidence: 0.9590283036231995

00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:41.124
a lot more time at home with my son and

NOTE Confidence: 0.9590283036231995

00:00:41.181 --> 00:00:43.749
I wouldn't have to be going back and forth to

NOTE Confidence: 0.9590283036231995

00:00:43.806 --> 00:00:44.320
a clinic.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9527169466018677

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:52.974
When we first started home hemodialysis, it was intimidating for

NOTE Confidence: 0.9527169466018677

00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:54.159
my husband and I.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9770359992980957

00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:56.869
We didn't know if we would be able to do

NOTE Confidence: 0.9770359992980957

00:00:56.931 --> 00:00:57.239
this.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9437838792800903

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.492
But after we were trained, my husband and I felt

NOTE Confidence: 0.9437838792800903

00:01:00.558 --> 00:01:01.879
extremely confident.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9555987119674683

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.160
Everybody can learn how to do this.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9242604374885559

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.873
I was able to do grocery shopping, take my son

NOTE Confidence: 0.9242604374885559

00:01:11.943 --> 00:01:13.560
to school, pick him up.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9746649265289307

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.120
We were able to travel.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9499000310897827

00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.104
We are able to as a family, swim and invite

NOTE Confidence: 0.9499000310897827

00:01:18.173 --> 00:01:20.880
our friends over and have a lot of fun.

NOTE Confidence: 0.938776433467865

00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.424
The social life that I'm able to have is just

NOTE Confidence: 0.938776433467865

00:01:24.501 --> 00:01:25.039
normal.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9670743942260742

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.293
It means the world to me that I am able

NOTE Confidence: 0.9670743942260742

00:01:32.364 --> 00:01:34.639
to participate in my son's life.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9392547011375427

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.948
If I weren't able to make my own schedule, I

NOTE Confidence: 0.9392547011375427

00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:39.572
don't know how much I'd be able to participate in

NOTE Confidence: 0.9392547011375427

00:01:39.625 --> 00:01:40.360
my son's life.

NOTE Confidence: 0.957817792892456

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.451
But he and I have a very close relationship and

NOTE Confidence: 0.957817792892456

00:01:44.529 --> 00:01:47.199
it's all due to home hemodialysis.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9511873126029968

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.160
It really is.
