Title: Fistula Shock
Post by: Whamo on July 13, 2012, 12:09:23 PM

Yesterday I got the second-stage surgery for a new fistula.  This morning, in the bathroom, I took my shirt off and was shocked.  The cut stretches from the mid-arm to the armpit.  The armpit!  Boy, I'm going to stink at dialysis today because I can't get in there and clean it.

Sliced and diced, huh?  Well, at least you'll only be bad on one side!   ;D

Yep, I had the same shock when I got mine done, was told about a four inch scar incision which I thought was ad enough.
