One of the techs told me the other day while examing my graft on where to stick that there's stenosis in my graft, I asked him how did he know he said because there's a divit in my graft and he let me feel it. It's just above the bend in my arm and just right above where my suto annerism was that my surgeon tied off, so does dips in the access mean stenosis? Since then I've been canulated there by other techs without a problem, I can't hear any wiezing in the bruit but it does thumpa bit.
