Got a text from her. Not good - apparently the hospital dialysis tech's suck.
They really kick ya when you're down!
Not sure what they will do for her now.
Please keep fighting Kit  :boxing;

Poor Kitz!...

Never rains but it pours!!!...

Her text to me was a little more blunt (and VERY Kitz) about the techs....

According to Kitz, and I quote  'The mother*****g techs need to fly off a cliff!'... She's NOT happy, and that's totally understandable!...

Fingers crossed for her... As if she hasn't enough to deal with... Now she can look forward to more surgery to repair her access!....

Remember her in your thoughts and prayers, Folks... She needs it all...

Love to all

I posted in the other thread but they took her down for the declotting and it went fine. She said they were very gentle with her and it only took about 3 hours. They were going to try dialysis tonight as I was leaving for home.

Keep thinking good thoughts!

At least she was right there and didn't have to come from home and that whole routine. 

I hope she got some rest.

Well, I've just had a long telephone chat with our Kitz...

She sounds exhausted, and very drugged up... Still feisty, though, so nothing's changed!...

She asked me to tell you all that she can't use her laptop in the hospital, and is finding it frustrating... But she's very appreciative of the thoughts and prayers of everybody...

Please keep her in your thoughts... She has a way to go yet!...

Love to all...

Our Kitty can be a lion when she needs to - and those techs had better shape up before they hear her roar!
