Despite this, Floyes’ has only been to a single game at Bryant-Denny Stadium. “I always worked,” Floyes said. “I worked for the International Paper Company for 25 years and I worked the between shifts and volunteered for lots of overtime. I was always working for the first part of my life and then when I went into air conditioning work, the money wasn’t there and I was always on call every weekend so I couldn’t ever leave town so I had to settle on watching it on television.” His sister took him to his first game last year, and has discussed trying to take him to another game in October. The experience of seeing the game was much different and enjoyable for him, with him saying that he was excited to return to the stadium as soon as he and his sister decide on a date. Jora Lofton, one of the clinical man- agers at Fresenius, has been working as a dialysis nurse for ten years. She was assigned to Floyes’ care and has worked with him every week since his admis- sion into the unit. “As far as dialysis, we see our patients three times a week,” Lofton said. “We see them a lot, we learn from them a whole lot, so anything that they’re dealing with we individualize each patient’s care so then that way, we make sure they’re meeting all of their needs and concerns.” Though doctors and nurses told him that treatments wouldn’t be painful, his first treatment began with his vein arm rupturing, spilling blood and putting the treatment on pause. After nurses had cleaned up and gotten him started on a machine, Floyes spent the next four hours sitting in the unit waiting for the treatment to end. His treatments continued for a short while, until a breaking point occurred Photo courtesy of Jora Lofton and Thomas Floyes, pictured.
