Best wishes for a smooth and successful surgery. My thoughts will be with you.

I suppose they were waiting for your fistula to mature.

Take care.  :grouphug;

I wish you luck and I hope all goes well.

Please make detailed notes ....... after the fact of course..  :rofl;

How big the kidneys are/were? What it felt like... how long you were in hospital.... I want to here it all..

My pkd kidneys might be next or very soon. A little preperation might help.

Good luck.

Good luck, if you go into the A.R.C. and see Michelle please tell her William Lloyd's daughter Rose said hello, she is a fantastic nurse, started as a student when Dad was first in and was working on Acute Renal Care when he passed away.
Fingers crossed for your speedy recovery.

All the best with that whiskeyfrank.
PKD is hardcore, worse than the FSGS I've got.
