Home Again

I'm home from my first fistula use in my right arm. All went well. I used no clamps but applied pressure myself as I did in the left arm. And minimal taping. So far, so good. Thanks for any prayers you've sent my way. Now I have to learn just how much I can use my right arm and how soon after treatment. I have graduation announcements that I need to finish this afternoon. Wonder if my dear hubby would like to learn to use the corner punch??

I did have some minor heart palpitations during treatment, but I don't know if that was because I didn't eat breakfast this morning, if I was nervous (didn't think so), or if using the fistula with the catheter still in place, or just what. I did tell the nurse and she didn't get excited about it, so I'm taking a wait and see next time attitude.
