Fistula Facts



Mike had outpatient surgery more than six weeks ago to create a fistula in his left arm.  The fistula is used for hemodialysis (which Mike is not on yet). It healed really nice and purrs like a kitty or chugs like a choo choo train. If you ever see him ask to see it. It is really pretty amazing and you can feel the blood vibrating through his veins. The turbulence causing the vibration is known as a thrill!
