A week ago Friday the Tech Infiltrated my Fistula again.  Thing is, the needle felt good going in, but was drawing slow.  She put a Syringe on it and pulled out about 2 "tubes" of clots.  Then she Pulled a third, it was clear so she gave it back to me to check the reverse flow and thats when I looked down and saw a BIG BUMP!  :(

and I'm suppose to go start Home Training (again) on the 10th!  ARGH!

Oh, well .. doo doo happens, right?

Hey, at least I still have my chest tubes .. though i would sure love to take a shower!

I did find these things that you can put over the chest tubes that are waterproof that allow you to take a shower.  Bad thing is I /think/ they are a one-use item that costs 10.00 Per.

Somehow 70.00 a week just to take showers is a wee bit too much. :)
