My new challenge ,

[Ushthetaff]

Latest up date had op to try and clear my fistula yesterday (Thursday)) unfortunately it wasn’t successful so they are thinking of putting a temporary line in my neck which is basically a cannula in the main vein in my neck. I think the plan is now to try on last till Tuesday where they have arranged to get a more permanent line in my chest so I’m in hospital till Tuesday.. every cloud has a silver line I managed to get my A cast for my new prothetic today so I’ve been quite busy, as we had physio today as well. Hopefully I should get my new prosthetic in 10 days to a fortnights time. I haven’t had the dialysis since last Saturday all my blood results seem okay and luckily for me I’m still peeing which you might be surprised to know that a lot of people on dialysis don’t pee. Imagine that not having to get up in the middle of the night, LOL so as long as my blood results are okay I should get a more permanent line in my chest on Tuesday. Another good thing I’m back on the kidney transplant list after being off duty to the infection in my foot so not such a bad day I had steak pie for dinner ha ha ha ha ha ha..

I'm crossing my fingers that your new prosthetic leg will be tolerably comfortable, when you get it. Decades ago I used to work with an ex-soldier who lost both his legs at Falklands. Like you, he never complained, but had to be confined to bed from time to time because the prosthetic legs rubbed his stumps sore. But he was otherwise healthy, and did not have to cope with Type1.

I do hope that a kidney transplant will happen, and soon. A line in the neck, even a temporary one, sounds extremely uncomfortable.
If the hospital food is tasty, that will make your stay more comfortable.

Best wishes for your recovery.

You've certainly been keeping the staff busy. Hope all goes well and you get home soon.
