A Day at the Drs.

G and I spent the entire day at Drs...and the emergency room.

Sunday night G's surgical site for the fistula busted open.

It was really ugly, but not really bleeding, and it did not hurt, and did not look infected.

I asked for him to have the nurses at dialysis look at in Monday, but they didn't.

He had Drs. appts at the VA on Tuesday, one of which was the renal Dr., and she looked at it
and said we had to get into the surgeon that day.
So I called the surgeon's office, who said he was in surgery all day, and to go to the emergcy
room.
G. had OT therapy at 1:30, which I had already rescheduled once and was not about to
cancel, so decided we would go after that. Besides, I knew the surgeons would be in
surgery until at least 3:00.

Finally around 4:30 the surgeons showed up at the emergency room (after 4 other
people looked at it...lol). They cut off some bad stuff, and resewed it.

At least we get to cancel his appointment with the surgeon on Thursday, and make
another one for 2 weeks out.

Other than that G is doing OK. He isn't in pain, which is great. OT will start soon,
and then will also look at getting PT.

Busy, busy, seeing Drs...
That is our life!
