Do you get a discounted rate? Two for the price of one?  I hope so.

I'm sure all will go well on Monday.

Take care

Good Luck with the surgery, just ask them for the good stuff for your nervousness  ;D and for pain control if you have trouble dealing with pain.

Take it easy, and yes, exercise your fistual with a squeeze ball. Sometimes NKF gives out squeeze kidney's that fit great in your palm.

2 for 1 deals for surgery. I hope you get through it. Be sure to get pain killers from the doc before you leave the hospital. The doc has NO idea how much an arm can hurt after surgery. Also have a pillow in the car on your way home and elevate the arm for a few days afterwards. It helps keep the swelling down. Good luck!
