Hi - Its been kind of a rough few weeks and finally this week I was starting to feel a bit more comfortable and then last  night . . . when coming off after my treatment, I had got off the arterial and was starting to get off the venous when a site I had used last week for arterial, since I couldn't get my buttonhole to work, started sprouting  (maybe gushering) is the word.  Anyway, after a few minutes of panic I was able to settle down and get it to stop.   Otherwise, all is good.

Must be something in the air..... today after treatment, Sharon was setting on the edge of the bed and getting ready for the BP tests and all of a sudden her Venous sight started gushing, we fixed it quick, then had to furiously strip the bedding that I had just changed a few hours earlier and get everything washed
