Dr. Shorie was at the dialysis center Monday morning and we talked about my new catheter. He is not impressed with it because it is so low and instead of forming a bow it goes up and comes down in a steep fashion (you can trace the route through my skin). It has been giving me some problems and he said it always would so he told the floor nurse to call and talk to the doctor about replacing it. That was certainly not what I wanted to hear but I do feel something needs to be done. The dialysis lines continue to jerk during the dialysis sessions and it is not natural. It is still very painful and they have not been able to remove the stitches because it seems to be taking so long to heal. I really dread what may take place about all this but whatever happens will be OK. I should know something about it all tomorrow (Wednesday) at dialysis.
