Title: well.. dang it
Post by: TheKatGamer on May 21, 2016, 07:18:28 PM
my apatite is doing better since I am now on a lower dose of phoslos because my phosphorus was low.. but on Friday night I ended up crashing on roller blades and fracturing my left wrist and right elbow.. my fistula is okay but I am a little worried about Mondays dialysis

O o o, I can imagine you are worried. Which arm is your fistula arm, and is it a lower or upper one, and are you in plaster?

Lots of love, Cas

Oowwwwww!     I learned a very long time ago NOT to strap wheels onto my feet!    And that also includes rails, bords, anything that will make the feet slide as I fall down a LOT!   And definitely NOT gracefully!   LOL


It's been a long time since I have broken a bone.  I feel for you.   I do KNOW just how much it hurts.

But I do have to ask,   In the words of Dr Phil,  "What were you thinking?"

My fistula is fine and is in my left arm and I was using roller blading to get my strength up cause everything else was way too tiring and I have usually been good at it.. until I hit a bump going down hill..  my mom is going to set up an appointment to see if I will need surgery or not.. Also I am on the deceased donor list is any of this gonna affect that?

Mighty pleased to read your fistula is fine, and I'd personally think that the poss surgery might postpone you temporary on the list, but if you really want to know, ask your team.
And maybe use a hometrainer (stationary bike) or something to increase your strength?

Love, and luck, Cas
