My Belated Birthday Present...

was having my softcell catheter removed today. The surgeon removed it in his office. He froze the area on my chest with lidocaine and then used a scapel to dislodge the the cuff and it was then pulled out with no difficulty. I am so happpy to get rid of it. The dressing was driving me crazy, it made my skin itch so much.
As a follow up to my last entry, my creatinine was 1.7 at my last visit. Still not normal, but at least it continues to improve.
