I had the 2nd AV Fistula done on Wednesday, the 11th. Everything went well. Not much pain at all.
I can feel the pulse and the blood flowing through its 'new' route. It is very exciting and I feel very good. I have not had to take much pain medicine.
The bandage comes off today, so we'll see what it looks like. The incision is bigger this time, but as long as it works I'm happy!
Also, my labs were just a bit different than 2 weeks ago. The creatine was at 6.7 vs 6.1, Potassium was down to 4.5 (i think) vs 5.9 (lower the better on this, so its good news), BUN was 83 (i think).
I'll go next week to have my doctor do labs so she can compare to the past labs done there.
My brother is in the process of getting tested to be a donor. Hopefully we'll find out something soon with him.
much love
