Don’t worry about the fistulla procedure it quick and painless, and much better then a cather. Good luck

If you're going through U-Dub, maybe I can hook you up with Douglas Hiatt, who is representing another patient in a situation similar to yours. Do you have representation?

My nephroloy dr.says I have to cut out pain meds.I have found that a puff or two realy takes the edge off + makes my pain toerable.However,The University of Washington where the transplant team is has already said "smoking marijuana is contraindiction to transplant" I'm wondering if they'll deny me the dialisis treatment that I will eventually have to have also.(I'm due to have vascular mapping on my arm to insert a fistuala this week) Everybody, please pray for me.

By the time they realize that they're just as mortal as everybody else it's too late for them to change the decisions they made that hurt others. :cry: isn’t it weird how people who are well think they’re going to stay well forever? ..that it’ll never be them who are so sick that they need to turn to marijuana just so they can EAT?!!
