Oh, gosh, I hope you don't lose that part of your kidney or your kidney! So scary to be in limbo like this. No matter the when of the procedure, it can't come soon enough, right? Here for you, however I can help.

I have a surgery-created fistula on my right forearm, for hemodialysis. Unfortunately, nine months after the procedure, it "shut down" without notice about a year ago. Fortunately I am on peritoneal dialysis. If needed, they will place a new one further up my arm.

Your transplant coordinator could not have foreseen this complication. Hopefully they have been advised of the situation and will reach out to you.

Hi @gingerw 😊
Thank you so much for all your support! You are always one of the first to jump in to help me with my latest challenge. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
(No need to alert my transplant coordinator, all is well on that end).
I will definitely keep you posted on my progress!
