One Poem by Bob Eager



 

Peritoneal Exit Site Poem

 

Tubes through a stomach port;

Solution entering and draining-

Dwelling after first Flushing Then Priming,

Clicking noise of machine:

Fluids towards kidneys,

Organs Soaked and refreshed and relieved;

Eventually exiting for a higher draining purpose….

Net UF numbers processed and tabulated 

Dissolution complete!
