I am feeling a bit like I am trudging up a mountain very slowly. I can see the summit but the climb is long. I have been walking along a flat part recently and it is about to get steeper. I am grateful for all you fellow climbers who walk beside me helping the climb to be easier.

I am very glad that my fistulaplasty went well yesterday (see previous post) and although my arm is stiff it isn't painful. Sedation is interesting! I had thought I had been quite with it throughout the procedure but at the end they removed something which was stuck to my forehead - I have no idea what is was or how it got on my head!! As ever with me nothing is completely straightforward and the bleeding meant we had to stay an extra couple of hours in recovery. - ho hum. Today I am supposed to have the stitches out - I am hoping that is straightforward!

Dialysis today with D.
