I have another surgery tomorrow, another AV fistula. With good luck, I go home tomorrow night. I have not had good luck recently with the other surgeries, so if things don't go well, they will admit me afterwards.

So glad to hear that.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that this time, you get a good fistula.

Sorry I didn't get to read your first post, I was not on this forum for a few days.
