Friday marked 10 weeks. During dialysis, it was discovered that the fistula was infiltrated and stopped working. Dialysis was cut to an hour and unable to finish, her kidney specialist was called to Bethesda.
They are going to try again Monday and if the fistula doesn't work, Myra will go back to St. John's for a new catheter in a new location.
This has really bummed her out because this next week the doctors wanted to discuss a transition plan for Myra to go home in 2-3 weeks, depending on how the progress goes.
They have her pretty medicated today so she's real groggy. Because of this, she didn't have PT today and tomorrow is an off day.
One step forward . Two steps back.

Hi, this is the third time I am trying this. My other two comments much be out in cyperspace somewhere. I must say my other two comments were written very well in content so I really can't say this is going to be better. My fingers seem to be doing their own version of tying. You know they say humor is good medicine and I must say I am doing alot of laughing at myself. Hopefully, your day is going well without any hickups. Gee, Myra you have had some setbacks, but from talking with you you have made significant progress as well. I finished reading Patricia Cornwell's "Trave". It was all right. I am now reading Clare Curzon's "Past Mischief" I almost
feel as if I have read this book (I don't have a record of reading it.} Maybe I saw the movie. I hope your day has gone well and I will be talking with you soon.
Love, Barb
Hi Myra-Hang in there, you are strong and have always been. I know the road must feel like never ending, but you will get better and stronger and will be home soon. Wanted to let you know I am traveling again this week. We got home late Sunday morning and I packed up and headed to the airport that same day for training for work. I will be home late on Friday night(after midnight) so I will call you Saturday and see if your up to some company.
You are in my prayers, and I think of you daily. Talk to you soon.
Robin
