Title: Hello! My name is Brandon
Post by: Angelicfury on September 09, 2008, 11:54:52 AM

My name is Brandon. I'm currently on dialysis (as I type this). My protein was 3.0+ over 8 years ago when I first seen my Neph. Creatine count has slowly gone from 3.9 8 yrs ago to 5.4 in April of this year. In may it jumped to 8+ in 2 weeks. I want to say hello and if I have forgotten anything plz ask.

Brandon

P.S. Left arm has 16 inch graft that closed on next day following installation. Left chest cath was removed last month due to gram positive. Right chest cath used since until sat. First time needles in right arm fistula today.

Sorry you're having so much trouble, Brandon. It does get better and all the crazies on her will help you get through it. I was actually sane when I joined this group.

I am a caregiver to a dialyzor
I was insanely anxious until I
read a passage from The Wife
Regardless, everyone has so
much to share
Hope you do too

Welcome Brandon!  Hope things will smooth out soon.

Welcome.  Access sites are one the of troubling things about being on dialysis. They have to clean that blood somehow and they have to get to it. I have had access problems the first few years I was on dialysis.  It will smooth out hopefully for you.  Good luck.
