this is going to be short because it hurts to type still. i went in 4 days ago for the AV Fistula. Everything is going well. Had some bruising and minor pain. Still numb in parts of my arm which is good I'm thinking:-) Can't feel the 'buzz or thrill' they talk about over the incision, but hoping everything is ok with it. Feeling good, been nauseous over the weekend, but I'm thinking its from not eating enough.
Found out in the hospital, my labs are getting worse. Currently showing 8% kidney function. Potassium is up to 5.9 , creatine is 6.1 and BUN is 69. All numbers indicate dialysis is coming soon. I'm trying to hold on and let the fistula heal, but not going to wait so long I get too sick. We're just trying to buy some time at this point.
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. Chris probably needs them as much or more than I do. He is doing wonderful at taking care of me, but I'm sure he's a lot more worried. The girls are also doing great taking care of mommy, but are equally worried I'm sure.
