I haven't seen a groin access in over 2 years since the last D I was at. I wasn't sure if was a graft or a fistula. I think they are very painful because the 3 patients that had one were always the ones yelling out loudly. One patient was always in tears. I felt so very sorry for them.

As I was coming out the Nephrologist office, I thought the sky was falling.
Knew I was going on dialysis since November 1999.
Had a fistula put in January 2000.
Been on 4-1/2 hour dialysis since August 28, 2001. (They took out 35Kg that single week)
Maria hasbeen on hemodualysis since January, 2005

I've read about groin accesses, and they just sound dreadful.

Ouch, I couldn't imagine that though I did have a catheter placed in my groin but they didn't have to access it with needles...

I'm guessing it's a last resort spot for access, when they've run out of other places. I hope I never ever get to that point
