Well guy/gals I'm a little depressed i have to get a fistula put in next week. Not the news i was going for. Then was told my veins are crappy, My clearance was 8ml when i went in this time, I guess i just have to accept that my life is about to change. Not feeling to well today, and I guess i'm just feeling sorry for myself. :cry: Thanks for listening

Hi
I'm sorry to hear that, it is so difficult with the way this makes you feel as one day you feel ok and the next you feel really crap and I completely understand how you feel as I'm the same but with me it's usually as a result of my yoghurt addiction!! (shh dont tell or I'll be in trouble :wink: )

I'm expecting to be put on the transplant list on thursday and it won't be long till dialysis now.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Sorry to hear your news. :(

You weren't eligible for a PD catheter? I'm just curious b/c if your veins are crappy, I fear that hemo would wind up being more trouble than it was worth. However, if this was the only option, I hope that it goes well for you!

Peace and blessings

Good luck with it.. and you can always look for a second opinion.. there are different ways to make a fistula and from what I've seen a lot of them aren't done with the care and skill they might be as they are seen as very 'routine' access surgery..

Its a bit disheartening.. I'm glad my fistula seems to be something of a masterpiece.. either that or I am bloody lucky..:)

Hope it goes OK.. take a good choice of music with you.
