Irene came home from dialysis completely wrung out because the treatment removed an excessive amount of fluid from her body today.  The nausea was a brutal challenge.  However, after traveling to San Francisco, today’s Cimino Fistula consultation at UCSF went well.  We met with Dr. Charles M. Eichler who will perform the procedure @ 6 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17th. 

We return to UCSF next Wednesday, June 11, for the pre-op exam which evaluates Irene’s readiness for surgery.  Pre-surgical testing includes labs and x-rays.  She will also meet the anesthesiologist.

The amyloid journey of faith continues.

Stay tuned…and thanks for caring.
