    He wasn't at the hospital when all this started but I digress.

    Ok...so if he's in the hospital you know who's going to work on him? I'll give you one guess and a hint. It's a vascular access, it's a vascular problem, so who works on those?

    That's right, a vascular surgeon! Guess who placed the fistula? A vascular surgeon! Wow!! So no need to call anyone. Nephrology does not care, they just want it working for dialysis. Guess who cares? A vascular surgeon! Guess what? If no vascular surgeon there right then and there, they don't call for advise, they call to transfer to closest facility with a on call vascular surgeon. They always try to save the fistula. But guess what, sometimes you can't. So, new dialysis catheter (he's already in the hospital), ligate current fistula if it can't be saved and a referral to a vascular surgeon for a new AVF. Because creating an AVF isn't an emergency. The catheter takes care of that.

    Have a nice day. Hope your patients don't rely on you to make major decisions.

    @trucksareforgirls2 I didn't mean to start a fight - also, for the record, I've worked A LOT with Special Olympics and have a special needs brother-in-law so I'm not a big fan of the whole "Retard" as an insult thing. There's different opinions and I get that, but you lost me when you tossed that one out. Again, I get it and I appreciate your opinion and your advice, but you are better than that.

    They did surgery on Monday to fix his fistula. He had dialysis on Monday and Wednesday. He was having intermittent memory loss and hallucinations. Last night he ripped out his IV's. This morning he woke up normal and he actually called me. Said he's felt like he'd been living in a dream for the last 4 days. He thought he was captured by adolescents and they were doing all of this crap to him (he's a retired school teacher from one of the rougher areas in Houston so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility ;)). The thought is that he had a reaction from his first blood transfusion. Anyways, his sister in Houston is a retired nurse, her husband is a retired doc - I'm more than happy to pass all of the medical talk over to them. I'm the "Boot's on the ground" and I've always functioned best as the behind the scenes guy...

    Again, I appreciate everybody's advice. I'm a learner and I'm definitely doing that.

    As far as home improvement - I fixed a few facings on my neighbors cabinets and cleaned up his yard yesterday...

    Thank you. They probably won't, but I'm okay with that. ;)

    Tile guys are making progress on the shower. It amazes me they cut all the 45’s by hand. Wife had me move an outlet over a bit while they are here to fix the wall so that she can get the mirror she wants. 2B32649C-71BD-446B-8FCD-266812570FD0.jpg636E59EA-5B43-49F9-BD94-CD5C8B190F52.jpgDB7EFB32-0B71-4B18-B358-62E5648F0BE3.jpg3C2AC0DD-2F89-4734-AFEF-5E8F8D43522C.jpg

    That's looking really good - I especially like how you made the installers do little "ToyoMafia" patterns with the wedges!

    Thanks,,,, after the last cold spell/freeze and for the last forever and being it is St. Augustine grass I burn my yard!! It freaks people the hell out and I get all sorts of weird comments from people that just do not know but when it comes back it really looks nice. I also fertilizer the yard. We just bought this place last September and it was owned by an older couple so it was in bad shape. It is starting to look good now. The trick is just get the grass growing and growing thick and it chokes out everything else.

    Completely my fault - I didn't mean to derail it. I'll put more thought into what and where I'm posting next time.
