Oh my goodness it is always something, isn't it Bajanne?   I wish you the best of luck in
getting things back to normal.

wow-that sucks. sorry to hear they aren't taking very good care of you    but this is a (unfortunate) lesson for everyone. you must not assume just because they are doctors and nurses that they know everything. they don't.  and sometimes they are not efficent.  when you think something is wrong, get on their asses till they do something about it!!
best of luck on the repair job

How frustrating!  I hope you can get this resolved soon.  I was wondering, though, what can they do to fix an aneurysm on a graft?

I've had several aneurysms on my graft--large ones. I just had surgery to have them removed

I am so sorry to hear about your situation.  I hope that they are able to resolve it and you're back to normal quickly.  You are definitely in a tough spot and I understand your reservations about a new surgeon working on you, but I'm sure they will do a fine job and are more than qualified.  Best of luck!!

That doesn't look like an aneurysm.  If it is, it is very small.  They can rupture, but only if they are very large, and the skin would become very thin and white, over the enlarged part.  It needs to be looked at, and shame on the Nurse for not addressing that sooner.  Hopefully, it won't need surgery just yet.

Nursewratchet, Bajanne had surgery around November 12th and she is doing great.  Everything is working well.

Glad that is taken care of.  What was it?

Thanks, Paris for the thread to the surgery info.  I am trying to navigate around here... Glad to hear of the good outcome!
