Fistula operation

[Ziggydoodah]

I got my fistula fitted on Tuesday. It wasn't too bad. They did it under local anaesthetic , with some sedation. Extremely strange afterwards, trying to move your arm 😳😳. I did however gain feelings in my fingers really quickly. I was the fourth and last person to be operated on, yet the first to gain feeling back. It was actually lovely to meet other people, who were going through the same thing. Sometimes you do feel like the only person facing these issues. Unfortunately yesterday and today I feel as if, I have been hit by a truck!! I have a post op meeting today, to check the fistula. Just thought i would post to reassure anyone about to get their fistula fitted. Hope you all have a good day.

Hi Barbara thanks for sharing your experience. It really made me chuckle 🤣🤣 regarding the pants scenario. We were in hysterics when one of the male patients was getting dressed by the nurse, in his cubicle. Thats amazing news about your GFR. I hope you continue to remain stable. Its amazing all the different things that can affect our kidneys. Wishing you all the best.
