Hi all,
Well I went to see my vascular surgeon last week do to my access again, this time he put in a permcath because of the unstability of my graft and this Thursday instead of doing a fistulagram he's going to surgically go into the graft and try to make repairs, it still has a thrill and bruit but it's more like a pounding then soft like it's suppose to be and a bit high pitched, if this doesn't work then it's on to a new access.

Hi, sullidog. I hope you don't have to have the permacath in for long, and that your surgeon has success with your existing accesss. Got my fingers crossed for you!

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.
