oh, i'm sorry to hear that.fingers crossed that they get it fixed and that you aren't in any pain.palerider wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:47 pm
The dialysis "access" (graft) clotted up twice, two weekends in a row... so they go in with vacuums, balloons, roto-rooter (feels like a massage coming from inside my arm) stents and stuff to get the clots out and open it up so it flows again. Not painful, just annoying. Now, they think there's a 'problem' where the graft connects to the artery, so I'm being referred back to the surgeon, who may decide to cut me arm open again to fix it, somehow.
THAT will probably hurt... it sure hurt after he put the stupid thing in originally.

Re: stuck without CPAP - tips for sleeping?
Hope they're able to get you well again soon.
I wouldn't pick on ResMed because of a lousy local DME. Go with which ever machine you find works the best for you. Make the DME work it out if there is a problem.
First rule of electronics, if there is a problem, disconnect everything and then reconnect and work your way back checking each point of failure for loose connections or damage.
Glad your able to sleep soundly again.
Rest well,
Gryphon
