Hi I'm back again! My Mom was in a rehab facility until the end of September. She was home for 1 week and fell and broke her pelvis! Two weeks later she had a second fistula surgery and the surgeon thinks this one will work! I hope so- but he says it may need to be elevated for it to be used properly. It is brachiocephalic has anybody had to have this "elevation" doe?

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. But I wanted to say "Hello" :waving; and :welcomesign;.

hi, sorry to hear about your mom. and of her injuries, hope she's doing better,
i had to have a second fistula as well. some kind now as your mom, still waiting to see if they can use it as it's only been 2 weeks, but i know some people in my unit have to have there's elevated cause it works better that way. each fistula is different so some will have to be and some won't. as long as it works for her, that is the key thing. good luck, and your mom if very lucky to have such a supportive and understanding daughter. it may not always be easy, but you'll always be glad you are there for here. even when your frustrated. trust me on that, my mom is gone, and i am so glad i was able to help her and be there for her.

I have the opposite problem, most days I need my arm down in the chair next to me for my pressures to be OK. Everyone is different!

I think she means that the vein needs to be elevated from deep within the upper arm to put it closer to the surface of the skin, rather than that the arm needs to be elevated.

Hope your Mom is feeling better and :welcomesign;
