I did my first at-home cannulation and treatment, and the graft worked perfectly. I need to go back into the centre on Monday so my training nurse can officially check me off on cannulation. Now that I'm getting more accustomed to the graft, I'm looking forward more to getting the catheter taken out. Next weekend I will be taking my first trip with the NxStage, and the friends I'm visiting are really looking forward to seeing how I do my treatments. One keeps asking me if I'll let him stick my graft  >:D. Hmm, let's see. I don't think so.
