[acb-diabetics] up-date

[Abby Vincent]

Pat,
So sorry to hear about all your health issues.  You try so hard to stay 
healthy.  When do you start dialysis?  ?  Hope you get to go to the 
convention if that's what you want to do.

Well as usual, I have to up-date people with what is happening to me.  Two
weeks ago, I had shunt put in my rt. Upper arm.  The lower arm had vessels
that "too puny" to installed there, which is the usual place. Six days
later, the incision burst open.  My husband said the bedroom looked like a
crime.  We went to the? ER, where the doctor praised my husband for stopping
bleeding. They put a bandage on it and sent it home.  Over Memorial weekend,
it started hurting more a more.  I went to the doc on Tuesday.  He agreed I
had developed a cellulitis and should see the surgeon.  I did that later the
same day and he redressed it and put silver iodine on it.  It is finally
healing up and is itching like crazy! I am still not on dialysis, but am
close to it.  The doc said I should not go to camp as any kind of heat or
other stress would put me into complete failure and shunt is not" mature"
enough to use.

I am going to try and go to Phoenix for a couple of days, but again will
have to do it at the last minute after and okay from my doc.
