Another Surgical Procedure

After speaking to my dialysis nurse regarding the problems with my hand and arm she advised me to see my vascular surgeon. I called on Friday afternoon and received a phone call this morning asking me to come in to the office as soon as possible.

The long and short of the story is that I was correct, my hand isn't getting enough blood. My new CryoVein is working TOO well so all the blood is going through it instead of flowing down to supply the rest of my arm. I'm having an angiogram on Thursday morning and the surgeon will try to open up the bloodflow to the rest of my arm.

I've been hand-writing my daily updates and my Webshots has all my progress photos (as well as new finishes!). I'll get everything posted for you as soon as my fingers stop splitting and hurting so bad. I never thought the problem would last this long! Unfortunately, it's gotten more painful as time goes on.
