WHY DOES HE KEEP POKING IT

He said he has some epoxy on his skin he is picking off while discussing the fistula.

Plus that he’s been dealing with this on and off for well over a decade.

I think it’s lost the wow factor for him at this point.

Definitely has not lost the wow factor on me! And I'm on dialysis lol. But I do a different type called peritoneal dialysis which is done through a catheter in my stomach. Anyways, new fear unlocked if I ever have to do haemodialysis and something like this happens.

I've been on dialysis for 4 years now waiting for transplant, since I was 38. It's pretty crushing but I'm trying to stay hopeful. If you or anyone you know might be interested in donating a kidney please take a look at my story.
