On Tuesday the 14th i will be getting my PD access put in.
I am doing this a little early due to the fact that during my stress test for a TX a blockage was found.
I learned from this site (thx) that the dye they will be using to find the blockage may kill off my remaining kidney function. So i felt it best to have the PD access before having the operation for the stent to open my artery. My thoughts are i will be prepared if i do have total kidney failure.
So a new phase of my life is beginning........
