@gingerw. not good news: Just now home from dialysis & going to bed. I was in the OR and under anesthesia when the doctor fell ill and cancelled the surgery. It was too late to get a ride home by the time they got me awake again so neph admitted me overnight then I went to dialysis today to make up for missing yesterday. I go to dialysis again tomorrow and will come home exhausted as usual, eat a bite then go right to bed. I do not know when or even if the dialysis access graft can even be saved or by whom if by anyone. I have no way to get to a vascular surgeon at the other medical center in a nearby town and there's only one other vascular surgeon here in town. Plse wish me luck!

@gingerw I am so sorry...

@kamama94 While we can be thankful your surgeon did not try to proceed in the light of his illness, it's gotta be frustrating and unnerving to not know what may happen now. Will someone advocate for you to get the other vascular surgeon in town to help you out?

Hope you can feel my hug of support for you.
