@fiesty76, I just posted an update in the dialysis thread - great minds think alike, LOL Am to have central line done in outpatient 1st of wk for immediate dialysis if needed and an arm fistula/graft for longer-term dialysis as well. Won't know until tomorrow or maybe Tues exactly when and I'm not a patient person to begin with. Waiting is far worse than knowing the worst. So keep all those positive vibes coming my way. Thanks!
