Tomorrow I have surgery for a fistula placement. This is essentially is super-vein that can stand up to being poked. A lot. I have to admit, I'm nervous about the operation because I will be under General anesthesia and the last time this happened I was in an amazing amount of pain for a while afterwards, and they had forgotten to give me a pain pump. I am taking steps to make sure that this does not happen again but I'm still leery. I've never had a fistula mature, ever. *sigh*
I am enjoying my chocolate pudding and my ginger-ale, because in 5 mins, I will not be allowed to eat or drink -anything- because of the surgery. Wish me luck!
