As you all know I had surgery Thursday, they put a graft in my right arm, this time they used a bigger vain, surgery went well and I'm happy to say it's happily purring away!

Do you have to exercise a graft in the same way you are supposed to exercise a fistula?

Yep, the thing about a graft it's an artificial vain so once it heals it's ready to be used. You just need to excersize it because it's attached to a real vain.
