Hi
« on: April 26, 2015, 06:01:20 AM »
Hello everyone,

I'm still here doing my thing.  I just been busy lately and kind of fell off the site.  I now have a new fistula in my left arm.  It looks really good.  I've taken the catheter out last week.  I had it for almost a year.  I'm so glad to use my arm it feels so good.  Like many say, "you don't know what your have until its gone."  Thank God that I have my arm back and it's working very well.  I just wanted to stop by and say hello and I'm always thinking about this site if I'm not telling other patients about it.  Hope everyone is doing well.

Have a blessed one!

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.

Glad to see you here, cdwbrooklyn and to know you never went away...  Much like your yourself maintaining a career, a working fistula is VERY good news! Thanks for sharing!
