I 1 ..... for the Buddy Franklin Kidney Fund has often been hailed as a miracle. To raise over $10,000 in such a short time in as small a community as ours, is cer- tainly no minor feat! Our effort project was given national pub- licity and it provided the im- petus for other fund raising drives in similarly small towns, all over the United States. As a result of the drive, for Buddy Franklin, the Mason Coun- ty Kidney Foundation was found- cd; a non-profit, tax exempt of ganization. Today with over 80 members, it is a member of UGN, and as such, is subject to certain restrictions. Its mem- bers are still endeavoring to raise funds to support patients in our area, Exactly 13 months after the fund drive for Buddy was in- itiated, he became "service con- nected," eligible for Veteran's Administration insurance, which now dcfrays all costs of his treatment transportation costs and hospitalization. This occurred none too soon. as the $10,000 went very fast. Over 40,000 Americans are af- flicted with incurable kidney dis- ease that will eventually kill them in absence of (1) a healthy transplanted kidney or {2 an effective and safe artificial kid- ney. They know how costly the condition can be. First off, there is the cost of surgical installation of a small Teflon-silastic cannulae, double- pronged, U-shaped tubes that fit into an artery and vein in the arm or leg. In addition to the actual cost of dialysis or the filtering of wastes from the blood. there is the cost of transporta- tion to the Seattle Artificial Kid- nay Center three or four times a week, blood for frequently re- quired transfusions, hospitaliza- tion for surgery in case of com- plications or the relocation of the roln , REWARMER '  r]HEPARIN • '- ....

Deanna is surprisingly proficient at execut- ing the intricacies of the treat- ment. Connected to the machine three times a week, eight hours each time, JoAnn actually has a lot of confidence in and respect for he," "kidney.'l She feels that her's is even more foolproof than those in the hospital. Her treat- ment, thus far, has not been without problems, however• Re- cently, the cannulae in her leg had to be relocated after a clot formed in one of the tubes• She has had trouble before because she has varicose veins in her legs and the veins tend to be rather weak. On the whole, JoAnn leads a fairly normal life• Yet, she is aware of her dependency on the machine for existence. She says it used to amaze her that "the machine is mightier than the body." Now she's just getting used to this. It is with a great deal of pride that a Sheltonian realizes that he or she could have taken part in the miracle of that first drive to save Buddy Franklin's life. Yet, the work of the Mason County Kidney Foundation mem- bers will never end as long as pcople arc afflicted with kidney ailments. Work is being done to develop cheaper more efficient methods of dialysis.
