Three times each week, Roy Hall makes the trek from his Lula home to Fresenius Dialysis Center in Gainesville for dialysis. Hall, who is in stage five kidney failure, is waiting for a kidney transplant — which hopefully will happen later this year. At the dialysis center, Hall is hooked to a machine for almost four hours while it takes his blood out, cleans it and puts it back in his circulatory system.
