Well, it turns out that I will now have to have ANOTHER operation.  The new graft section has an aneurysm - small, but they do not want to give it a chance to cause problems.
I will be going into the hospital next Tuesday and the operation will be on Wednesday.  The same surgeon will be doing it (not the vascular surgeon - he is not here)  I have more confidence in her now.  She did a very good job last time.
Of course, my IHD family will be with me all the way!

Will you have to have a catheter placed for dialysis until your graft heals??  I hope not.  Best of luck.   :cuddle;
