successful surgery

« on: December 07, 2011, 07:31:20 PM »

I had a successful surgery today! My surgeon cut my graft totally opened and removed the clot, and it was also clogged with lots of scarr tissue. Makes me wonder if those fistulagrams really work as none of that stuff never showed up on my fistulagram, the scarr tissue I mean. Now my access can't be used for 4 weeks but it is now buzzing away!
