Hello,
Just wanted to tell you about my doc appt yesterday. It was very interesting. As far as the appt goes, he wants me to have a vein mapping sonogram to see what veins/arteries are good ones to use. He said I seem to have good veins and he showed me 3 places he could tie them up to make the fistula.
The other interesting thing is he is with the Methodist hospital systems. I am listed with Baylor. He REALLY would like to see me get on with Methodist. He said I was the 3rd patient he's seen this week that had trouble with Baylor (ie failing transplant). He told me I should make an appt with a surgeon over there and ask some questions. I told him I would hope to use the head guy. I told him the guys name and he said, I trained him! So, it was quite a weird situation. I am praying that God will guide me to go where HE wants me to go. I felt a little confused about it. I just let go and let God.
I appreciate all of you guys so much and wanted you to know what all was going on.
Love, Tracy :)

Today's Appt

Hello! Today is an appt with the vascular surgeon to see if he thinks I am ready to get a fistula put in. I am a little anxious about the appt, but know I need to go. My kidney doctor thinks I should go ahead and get it done, so my body will be ready when/if I need dialysis. I am not sure if it is out patient surgery or what. I think it might be. Will find out more at 4:30 today.



I found a website that I think everyone who deals with kidney/dialysis, etc should look at. It is called I hate Dialysis.com. It has been very informative and helpful to me. Sometimes it is funny.

I hope everyone is doing good who reads this. Will let you know how the appt goes.

Tracy :)
