here is a gross picture of my scar. it crosses my elbow and then goes up the length of my upper arm. this is called an AV fistula and they tie a vein and artery together to make a large blood flow for the needles for dialysis. it is good to be home in wintery Fairbanks and i am now relaxing on the couch.
my mom and dad in the Library at the Transplant house, Sunday night before surgery. it was good to see them again at Mayo, one of these days we won't meet at a hospital.
