Wednesday - Ultrasound and Dialysis

So into Mayo at 1 for an Ultrasound. The purpose is to check her arms to determine which arm will be better suited for a fistula. Fistula's are ugly; ugly in appearance and ugly in practice. That fact that they are taking about fistulas means dialysis is a long term solution to her problem. Read a nice page about fistulas here. For the less queasy, do a Google image search for vistulas.
It was after 3, when we went over to the dialysis ward and she had her last 3 hour session at the Rochester ward. Starting this Friday, she will be a regular at the Dialysis ward on Ridgeway. She has a 10:00 am appointment, so they will be ready for her.
Drive through at Mickey D's for supper. On the road by 7:30, home before 10.

We wish all of you a Happy New Year! Thank you for your kinds words, actions and prayers, they have meant so much to us.
