Bad Thursday

So the ladies whom disconnect me from the machine have all suffered from the wrath of my veins!
Pull a needle and blood goes everywhere!
Floor, furniture, clothing and them.
Clotting can take 20 minutes.
And this is all a problem with management!
Then the Latvian lady observed they a case long ago like this - too much back pressure.
Whatever that is.

So surgeon does an ultrasound but finds nothing.
Yet, this lady is highly respected.
So he sends me to a specialist with the big ultrasound.

Now, I am expecting an ultrasound,
But the admissions desk is acting like something else is happening!
So, I am cautiously nervous now.....

Sure enough, the tech running this big machine,
Finds that there is an 85% restriction in the end of the fistula.
So, in spite of the pain this was causing me,
She was able to identify the restriction as a blood clot.
What, me finally clot!?!?!?!?!?
My Hapsburg clad would be proud!

So, I was rushed in to surgery.
Had an angiogram right then and there.
My stress levels went through the roof!
And I started randomly blabbering, like stress always does to me!
Sigh ....
I hear I gave a great lecture on disk drive theory  ... LOL!

So what better way to end the day than three heart attacks in a row!
But I have to do dialysis today,
So, we will see how Friday goes ......


For now, exhausted,
In pain,
And frightened ....
