Well, almost, anyway.  Had my PD catheter put in Tuesday.  Gonna go get it flushed today, and hopefully I'll be back on PD in a couple of weeks.  It's funny, last time I couldn't drive for a week (both times I had a presternal catheter inserted), but this time I can drive just fine (although getting in and out of the car is not a pretty sight).  However, I am walking kind of like a neanderthal, sort of bent over.  I noticed this time there are 3 cuts in my abdomen.  So, pretty soon I'll be a happy camper and away from all those bells and alarms.  Doin' the happy dance!  :bandance; :bandance; :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;
