There are manv serious, of -a person's life. Adjustment

PAGE EIGHT to these abrupt changes are never easy, especially for an active person like Joseph Mitchell, who discovered over four years ago that he' had a serious kidney disease.

Mitchell, 64, who just recently moved to Lexington, is one of eight patients who currently receive dialysis treat-ments three times a week at the dialysis clinic on Leestown Road.

Dialysis patients must spend from five to six hours with the machine, which acts as an artificial kidney. The word "dialysis" means to pass through or filter out accumulated wastes and excess body fluids as the -

diseased kidneys can no longer perform this function.

"I've learned never to plan more than one day at a time." says Mitchell. During the 25 years he worked as an engineer and fireman in the boiler room of a paint factory in Cleveland. Ohio, Mitchell enjoyed good health. "I know that I had high blood pressure, but it just didn't give me any problems.

Mitchell and his wife will ' only be able to travel where dialysis t reatments are avail-able. but they are learning to accept and live with Mitchell's condition.

While the patients receive t r ea tmen t at the clinic, they are-able to watch television, play cards, assemble puzzles or do any activity which requires using only one hand. Many of them read magazines or newspapers and some of thpm find it a time, "to catch up on gossip."

Usually the treatment is not associated with any sympt oms.' but occasionally nausea and weakness occur. These symptoms don't last long. Patients are checked frequently during treatment and not allowed to leave the clinic until they are able to resume their regular activities.

Although dialysis patients must limit many activities

because of t he time-consuming treatment , this does not mean that they cannot enjoy sports or other physical activities. One of the clinic patients, in her early 20s, works aa a respiratory therapist at the University of Kentucky Medical Center on the days she is not taking treatments . After a full work day, she plays one or two games of tennis.

Mitchell helps his wife with the cooking, drives his own car and mows his own lawn. He also does minor repair jobs, plants a garden and rides a bicycle.

"Hypertension occurs in all races, but for unknown reasons it is more frequent among black people and develops earlier in life," according to Dr. Robert G. Luke, director of the University of Kentucky's Renal Unit. Dr. Luke also says that hypertens-ion is the cause of end-stage kidney disease in many people over 40 years of age.

Joseph Mitchell is one of 23 million Americans who have high blood pressure. He is one of the majority who do nothing about hypertension because there are no obvious symptoms.

May is Hypertension Month in Kentucky. The Department for Human Resources (DHRI

provides supplemental funding for the t reatment of patients, with end-stage kidney disease. ' DHR recommends that all Kentuckians have their blood pressure checked. It is a f ree service offered at most local health departments.

Eastern Kentucky Univer-sity announces a program in cooperation with the Kentucky Bureau of Manpower Resources, Department of Human Resour-ces, to train and prepare college age persons for summer employment on farms.

The training period com-mences May 27, 1975 and ends June 8. 1975. Trainees will receive 80 hours of work training 10 eight-hour days..

Students will be paid $2.10 per hour (not to exceed 80 hours), plus $5.00 a day subsistence (toward board and room) and travel pay at the ra te of $.10 per mile for one trip from the s tudent 's home to the L'riiverjity and return.

To apply, students should call 606/611-1031. Dr. William A." Householder. Chairman of the Department of Agriculture

and Project Director, and applications will be taken by telephone or may be picked up from Dr. Householder at the Carter Building, Eastern Ken-tucky University, Richmond, Kentucky. Applications will be accepted. until May 22, 1975. TTiose selected will be notified by telephone.

Both men and women who are Kentucky residents, who have graduated from high school, who may still be in college, or recently graduated from college are eligible.
