Friday, April 5, 2019 – Third Day of Home Health In Port St. Lucie Plus Fistula Cleanout

We had hoped that today would be the last day of training, but since the machine we’re supposed to get hasn’t arrived yet, we’re scheduled to come back on Monday, darn it. After a good dialysis session, which started at 5:30 in the morning so we could make out surgery appointment, we headed over to the hospital in Stuart and got that all taken care of. Super people over there, the surgeon and all the nurses were great, and event though the admission process took time, the actual surgery was only about 45 minutes. Evidently they only had to inflate one balloon to make it open right up. It’s been recommended that this be done about once every six months, the first time we’ve heard that suggestion, but it makes sense. Anyway, we were still home at a reasonable hour, even with all the activity, but after all that, Hubby didn’t have much energy! Early to bed with us!
