Well, I went in to the kidney institute first thing this morning, and they were able to de-clot my graft. I just finished my treatment for today, and the access worked as good as it did when it was new. No excessive bleeding, and no flow problems. My arterial and venous pressures were a bit high, but that was likely because of the stitches that are still in my arm that will be removed in a couple days, and because of the stitches, I had to put my needles kind of close to each other. When I pulled the needles, the both stopped in a normal amount of time. I really hope it was really fixed this time, and I don't have anything like this happen again for a long time. The next few treatments will give me a better idea. Thanks for all your support.
