Went Crestwood Hospital for a one hour FISTULOGRAM, Tuesday, December 11, 2012.
While doc was ballooning my fistula, he punctured artery.
My hand hurt really bad. Had emergency surgery.
My potassium rose to 6.3.
Was given 1 quart of blood.
The next morning a catheter was inserted.
Had my first dialysis that afternoon.
I was so weak.
Was given 2 quarts of blood.
Released from hospital Thursday night.
Had my first in center dialysis 6am Friday (FMC NANC), December 14, 2012.
Mon, Wed, Fri, 6am is my schedule.
Saw David (CRNP @ Dr Smelser) one time last week.
Braided my hair all night, Wed, Dec 19th.
My arms are so sore, especially in shoulders.
Met the nurse, dietician, social worker, finance person, building supervisor, etc. this week.
Real weak after dialysis.
Vomited after dialysis, Sunday, December 23, 2012.
Have not returned to work since Tues, Dec 11th.
Very hard to sit-up.
I drove my truck for the fist time since Dec 11th, Christmas Day.
My legs were so weak and I barely was moving.
Drove my truck again yesterday by myself to Dr. Phillips office.
It was a long walk from garage to his office, but I made it.
Don't believe I eat enough protein. May have to get powder.
Spoke to Susan on yesterday.
Hopefully I can start home dialysis on January 7th.
She will get back with me if that date is ok.
All for now. :-).
