Title: NO NEW FISTULA YET
Post by: 2dallascowboys on June 29, 2007, 07:55:14 AM
Hi,

I posted that my hubby Les was due to get his fistula on Tuesday.  Well, we went to hospital,
he had bloodwork done, IV in place, etc.  Waited from about 10 am to 3- were then told that
our surgeon had a problem with a surgery done rite before hubby's was scheduled, and had to go
back into ER.  So, when Dr came in to talk to us, we all three decided that it would be best to
postpone les's - Dr was very honest with us and said he was quite exausted, so now we will be
going back on 7/11

Just wish it were over for him, the anxiety with it all is pretty bad.
Hope all of you wonderful people are feeling OK -God Bless

Anne and Les :angel;

I'm so sorry.  I know that was frustrating.  But, look on the bright side -- more time to exercise and increase the size of the veins.  ;D  Besides, 7/11 has to be lucky, especially with a surgeon who has the integrity to be honest with his patients.

Keep us posted.
