Home dialysis machine revitalizes patient's life
SAIA FASSISILA, pastor of the United Methodist Church in San Mateo, dreaded his options when his kidneys failed two years ago. Either he stayed hooked up three times a week, four hours a session to a large machine that cleaned his blood, or he'd die. Although he'd taken medication for years to control his high blood pressure, in his case that wasn't enough to stop the condition from damaging his kidneys. "I had no choice," Fassisila said. When doctors sent him from his bed at Stanford Hospital directly to a dialysis clinic to clear his blood of the accumulated metabolic byproducts, excess nutrients and water were close to killing him, since his kidneys could no longer eliminate them. "I was given a second chance in life with dialysis," said Fassisila, 48, who was born and raised in Tonga.
Movie Talk
SMITHEE'S RED CARPET GOOD, BAD AND THE OBVIOUSLY UGLY REPORT: You think rain causes traffic to clog in Atlanta? The wet weather clearly delayed Hollywood's entertainment elite. The arrivals were, at first, slow and far between. First up: Former Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr. The slog meant a long delay in the top-nominee arrivals, which led not to a memorable red carpet, but to the running of the overpaid stars. So many only waved as they dashed by, opting not to talk. BEST DRESSED IN RED: "Project Runway" bombshell Heidi Klum, a welcome vision from the front and behind. I also couldn't take my eyes off Helen Mirren, draped in a memorable red dress. BEST LINE: "Juno" actor Jason Bateman told Oscar night greeter and Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne this was his first Academy Awards celebration to attend in person: "I've watched from home before," Bateman quipped, "in comfy socks." THE SNOOTY CREW: Among those who pretty much ignored the print press: "Juno" writer Diablo Cody in wild-animal print and tats, Nicole Kidman, a pregnant Cate Blanchett and, of course, Tommy Lee Jones.
