Hi, I had surgery on Wednesday and had dialysis on Thursday at the hospitla and then got to go home to my sister's house. I'm doing okay. A little sore. The surgeon did both his options. Did the vein to vein thing across my chest and started a fistula in my right arm.
I did get caught on the computer so they would just sign out when they would leave. Darn it!
My sister has dialup so it is really slow. I'll write more later. Thanks everyone.

Thanks all of you for your prayers and support! I'm home but then I go to Nocturnal for the Sunday night run. I think it will go okay. I'm a little sore, but not bad. Nothing the "Pain Pills" can't take care of.  |

Dialysis went well due to the fact that they were able to stick my current fistula. That needs to hold out for me. I was wiped out after I got home. Low BP since I have no idea what my dry weight might be now. Plus I need to shit god knows how much! You have heard that muscle weighs more than fat.... well shit weighs a lot too. I did perk up about 2 PM and was able to take a shower. Thank God for showers with nice smelling soap. I'm getting tired of this though. I want to be back to ...... normal .... where I'm just on dialysis and none of this other BS. Hang in there with me.... Thanks! P.S. Pebbles has the shits again! I may try her dog food! |

When I went to the hospital I wore my "I Hate Dialysis.Com" T-shirt. It was a nice one with long sleeves. After the surgery I had my sister bring me a button down shirt so I could slip it on. I had my IHD shirt on a chair so everyone could see it. All the nurses commented on how they LOVED it! Right when I got back from surgery and my sister left they came in and said they had to move me to a different room. Someone stole my shirt. It is not in lost and found or the nurses station. Can you believe that! Oh, well, it will advertise our site.   |

Sorry about the shirt, Rerun.
How is Pebbles doing with her "problem" and has yours improved?
