Fistula

Hello,

I had my fistula put in on Friday 2/26. Dr. Dickerman did it at Harris Methodist Hospital in Dallas. I hadn't been to that hospital before. It was a day surgery, but to me, was a major. It was a lot worse than I expected. Glad that is over with. I missed several days of work, just trying to get my stamina back. Today is my first day back for a full day. The doc actually had to cut my muscle to get a vein to put with an artery to make a BIG artery. When that matures (in 6wks to 3 months) I supposed I will start dialysis then.

The even bigger news is that I got engaged last weekend. Keith asked me to be his wife and I said YES!!! I am so happy and comfortable; a wonderful experience. We are going to wait until I feel a little better before we set a date. Hopefully soon!!!

Thanks for reading!

Tracy :)
