Hi guys, I'm back from the Hospital.
I just had my AV Fistula creation earlier. It took an hour for my operation because the surgeon was having a hard time working on my artery, he said he couldn't find it earlier. Thank God, it was over. All I need to do is make it work and wait for 2 months.
Above is the before and after surgery of my left arm.
1. It's my left arm before surgery.
2. My left arm after surgery.
3. Bleeding during my Dialysis.
4. My left arm after dressing in the ER after my Dialysis. They needed to put a bandage so that it will press.
By the way, I'm typing using my right hand.
photo is mine.

The Doctor said before that since I was a baby my kidneys are small for a regular size of the kidney.
And the reason why I never get fat before and I was pale.
It has to do with the Mother he said, for not taking care of herself during pregnancy.

@JustBhem You cannot move your left hand at all? Or it is still swollen and painful. Do you have nerves? What is the recovery length? 2 months?

Yes, because it's painful I just took pain reliever awhile ago plus it's swollen due to the plaster I have wrapped in the arm for the pressure to stop it from bleeding. I am using my right arm now which I can move and the swelling is gone too.

it is surely expected that you bleed after the procedure, but i hope you won't bleed anymore in the next days to come.

Nope, I am not. I only take Biogesic for anything, like a headache and pain.

So relieved for you that the operation is done.
I guess you need help doing everything now. Must be hard.
Sending best wishes for prompt healing.
