A new day

Well it's over with. I had the fistula placement done on Wed. Nov 3. We arrived at the hospital at 10:30 A but did not go into surgery until 3:30 P. Boy what a long wait. Once they took me into surgery it went fast. The anstelogist (can't spell yet) asked if I felt anything, I said no and the next thing I remember is the nurse telling me surgery was over and to open my eyes. I ended up with a 5 inch bandage on my left arm and feeling fine. My BP was slow to come back up so I didn't leave until 10:30 P. A long 12 hours but I hope worth it. Today is day 3 and I am still doing good. Looking forward to seeing my brother and family tomorrow. Drs. follow up appt in 2 weeks then hopefully we travel to warmer location.
