Had a quick FB conversation with Kitz's daughter, Danielle...

She tells me that Kitz had her operation last night, and she's still a bit groggy... No news on whether it has worked yet....

Will update as soon as I hear anything...

Happy your home!  I've been in your shoes soooo many times and I know how much of a relief to get back home to your comfort zone.

I've had big time issues with my dialysis access. I've had about a dozen surgeries and attempts to get a good access but every single one has clotted up. I've been using a cath for more than a couple of years. I've denied my surgeons request to try a femoral access. My thoughts being if they can not convince me this attempt will not end up with the same clotting issues. So I know how frustrating all this can be. I hope you and your team of doctors can find a solution to your issues. Keep us updated. I wish you the best!   :grouphug;
Best regards,

I am still sore from surgery.  But I am up out of bed today mostly on the computer.

Let me tell you pain and low BP do not go together.  They would not allow me good solid pain meds just tylenol with codeine- one. Crazy.  I am down to regular tylenol extra strength.

Sleeping most of the night.  Dialysis last night went so fast.  I closed my eyes at 8p.m.  woke up at 2:30 a.m. as they were taking people off the machines. I am hungry today, I was not yesterday.

The last week has been difficult for me. 
Bajanne's passing just slammed me to the ground this week.  In addition to trying to heal my body ad get on with working and living.  I am still off of work.  I have 32 stitches in my left Frankenarm.
I have a dialysis catheter in my chest. Sigh!  Going to see if stitches can come out Monday before I chew them off my arm!

Good news I actually went out today for lunch with the family but felt whipped so did not enjoy it too much.  However at 6p.m. I called my sister to come get me and take me to Office Max to get printer ink.  It was a short trip but nice to get out of the house.
