Well the last few days every time we try to stick my graft in the lower section we pull out clots, today when we stuck it there was a clot on the needle and the site didn't even bleed at all! We had to go way hi up on my graft and it worked but I think the lower portion of my graft is do for a fistulagram. There's still a thrill so hopefully they can do one soon before it all clots.
