After close to 3 weeks I finally got the chest tube out. Next steps are going home and getting back to walking.

Wait, that was for the fluid drainage out of your lung, right, you still have the chest catheter for dialysis?

Any idea when they're going to put in a fistula or graft?

No I’m just now getting out of the hospital. Maybe vein mapping next week then based on the hospital vein mapping it’ll be a graft as my veins are tiny.

I get to go home today but have follow up appointments for next week with my primary and a lung doctor.

Then Saturday back to regular dialysis. Bunch of phone calls to make.
