My dialysis port is being scheduled to be placed next week. I still can't believe this fistula doesn't work. My parents are getting pretty upset as well. I'm not really even sure how I'm supposed to feel about all of this. I just feel like my body is rejecting me. First my kidneys fail, and now the fistula doesn't work either. It's like my body doesn't want to be helped. I'm sure when I get this port I will get an infection as well, and become septic.
