What a parlay!    Now I am really scared!  I had a fistula put in this past Sept.  This month doc wants to bring the vein up to the surface so they can get at it.  I live alone and no one to help and of coarse it's in my right upper arm!  After hearing what you said it scares me to think I may be following you in your shoes! Praying for you that all goes well and this will be the last one.

 :(  Aw sullidog, I'm sorry this problem persists.  I hope it's something that can be easily taken care of. (easily being a relative term!).  Better yet, I hope the fistulagram shows it's something that will resolve on it's own.  You'll be in my thoughts until this problem is fixed.

Sul, I thought they treated soft, blood-filled tsutos with a little blue pill first before trying surgery!  Works for me! ;D

Blue pill? I never heard of that and can't find any info about it on the internet, what is it called? I have a graft so maybe that's why?
