I must have had too much fun in Vegas because this morning my arm was swollen. I went to dialysis and those idiots didn't know what was wrong. It worked fine. They are all Filipino and wanted me to see an "Access Intervention Specialist". Well, ok. So, I get this order to show up at the hospital on Friday morning for fistulagram! Hellllll no!
The nurse says to me "You, you not spose to seep on it"! Well, No Shit Dick Tracy!
He didn't even look at it yet! Just do a fistulagram. That is the answer for everything!
I went and sat in his office along with 20 other people and I'm sure I was the only one with insurance but it made no difference I still didn't get to see him.
So, I went to see my Vascular surgeon and he told me to go home and elevate it. He had a FIT that someone was going to do a fistulagram!
I think I had too much fun and didn't get my naps in! HA

Awww I blame myself, making you take the bus back alone - sorry Rerun!  Maybe ice and elevation and a little tylenol will help a bit. |

Wrong arm for the slots, so I can't blame them. Karol I did fine on the way back. Lots of people around. Not to worry. I should have just stayed at the hotel but I didn't want to miss out on anything! It was worth it to see the Bellagio. http://www.bellagio.com/ |

Rerun are you sure you didn't arm wrestle Goofynina or Sluff?
Seriously though hope it soon clears up.

Rerun, hope the arm is doing better and have an answer for the swelling. I don't think anyone got the rest they needed in Vegas and we will all be paying for it this week---but we had such a good time. Let us know how your arm is. We worry!

Thanks Donnia, that is what I wanted to hear. I think I just did too much walking around. I would have layed down on the bench outside but Jill's husband got yelled at for doing that. |

I seem to remember we all got yelled at by the lady at the wedding chapel!!!  Rerun, hope your arm is doing better. My legs looked like elephant legs by the time we had flown across country! Let us know how the arm is. |

Most of the swelling has moved down to the elbow area. My access is pumping strong that is all that matters.
Get those legs elevated Paris.

Hehehe - Rerun - you missed the fire alarm at 2:30 am Sat. morn at the hotel, Goofynina was not going to evacuate the building, if necessary - she was on her machine.  Glad your access is working!!  |

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh I went to dialysis and by this morning my whole neck and shoulder were swollen and red. They wouldn't dialyze me. My Neph came to examine it (If you can believe it) and she sent me to the hospital for a chest cat scan and a veinogram. They found 3 blocked veins in my neck that they ballooned. I feel much better and I'm able to move my neck. I don't know why this had to happen at ALL, but thank God that it didn't happen until I got home from Vegas! |
