A week ago Friday the Tech Infiltrated my Fistula again. Thing is, the needle felt good going in, but was drawing slow. She put a Syringe on it and pulled out about 2 "tubes" of clots. Then she Pulled a third, it was clear so she gave it back to me to check the reverse flow and thats when I looked down and saw a BIG BUMP! :(
and I'm suppose to go start Home Training (again) on the 10th! ARGH!
Oh, well .. doo doo happens, right?

I'm sorry! You don't need any more doo-doo!!

Oh I'm sorry you had this happen again. :grouphug;

Hey, at least I still have my chest tubes .. though i would sure love to take a shower!
I did find these things that you can put over the chest tubes that are waterproof that allow you to take a shower. Bad thing is I /think/ they are a one-use item that costs 10.00 Per.
Somehow 70.00 a week just to take showers is a wee bit too much. :)
