huh? dry waight is 51.5, you went in at 54.6, so that's a gain of 3.1. Say 0.5 for washback doesn't even come close to 4200. Did they miscalculate? That would have explained why you started to crash. Sorry you're having the problems with your fistula. Mine is a bit "snakey" too (lots of bends) but they usually manage to find it OK. They say mine is "big and strong" - just got lots of bends. lol
