I have some not so good news.....Gil is in the hospital again. His fistula clotted again this afternoon. Don't know why, the warfarin was supposed to keep this from happening![]()
They are giving him plasma IV to thicken his blood so they can hopefully unclog it tomorrow morning - then I guess they will fill him full of heparin to thin it down again
Everything was fine yesterday when he dialysed....we are both baffled and upset that this has happened again only 3 months after the last episode![]()

Updating.
Same as last time, he's having a vascath put in this afternoon so he can dialyse tomorrow. Wednesday he'll be in theatre where they will try to unclog the fistula. Depending on where they put the vascath (chest or groin) he may be able to come home in a week. He can't come home if they put it in the groin, he won't be allowed to walk.
I have instructions to go have a nap before I go back later this evening.

Morning all

GA... what is it with the English and being awake in the middle of the night
Ok folks time for me to head off to work, have a good day and I'll catch ya all later

G'day from Hobart
Another update:
Gil is ok, they put the vascath in his upper chest on the left side this time because they couldn't get it in the right side where he's had it before because of scarring. He will have dialysis tomorrow morning at the hospital and then they will attack his arm on Wednesday.
I did have a nap, just finished dinner (yes I know very late but at least i ate!). The weather is truly sucky poured with rain all day and I got wet twice![]()
He has had a wonderful nurse looking after him on afternoons, she is so funny and cheers everyone up even when they're feeling like crap. Susan you're a gem you kept my spirits up while I was waiting for Gil to come back from theatreGod bless nurses!
