Surgery today to remove the permacath and replace it with a safer mediport for blood draws since you can't do needle sticks in the arm with the AV graft and the veins in my other arm are crap. That's six sessions in the operating room under general anesthesia in 6 months. Hope to be released from the hospital some time Wed. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this works!

Good Grief, @kamama94, having 6 general anesthesias in 6 months may not be a record but surely it comes close! Hope this latest procedure not only works but brings added relief. Hugs!
