Title: My fistula is doing well
Post by: Restorer on March 29, 2012, 12:44:24 PM

I'm at dialysis now, on the last day of using 16-gauge needles. On Saturday it'll be 15 gauge. A week after that, if everything goes well, we'll start establishing buttonholes and I can make an appointment to get my catheter out.

On April 25th, I'll be in Las Vegas for my brother's 21st birthday. If my buttonholes establish themselves quickly, I might be able to use them then. And I won't have to worry about going through airport security with a catheter!  :yahoo;
