Hi,
I had my pre-assessment yesterday for my ops next monday (4/10), I managed to find out that I am just having the PD Tube done then and the fistula will be done at a later date. It was mainly form filling, blood tests and that kind of thing.
I am actually going to be on the cardiac ward not a renal one ?? as the surgeon who does the op is a cardiac surgeon. I will be in at 2pm on monday and have the op tuesday morning so hopefully if everything goes ok i will be out sometime tuesday afternoon/evening.

PD cath insertion
Hi, when I had my catheter inserted, a vacular sugeon did mine so it's not unusual for someone other than a nephrologist to do it. Amanda
Good Luck Mike :0)
will mark that date in my diary ... um?? ... if only I had a diary!!!!!
I'm sure that you will be in and out in a flash and you will settled into it quickly mate ...
did you ask if you could funnel Badgers straight into the PD tube?? ... least that way you can tell the wife that ... 'nay a drop passed my lips honey ... HONEST!!!' ... (hic!!)

Congratulations!
The operation itself is a piece of cake. I am sure that a cardio surgeon will have no trouble with it. Good luck and God bless.
