My fistula was to wobbly to be stable enough for me to self cannulate. After 7 months even the dialysis staff gave up on my arm. The first fistula didn't even last past 10 days. When you have a good one it is good to use buttonhole to keep it working longer! Good vid! Thx for uploading this Gus! :) A guy who sat beside me in dialysis used to do the buttonhole technique and encouraged me to go that route.

There's no place like home. Its great to be at home and caring for myself and hope other people can learn that home dialysis is just as safe as incenter dialysis but with an added benefit.... much more freedom at home.

There's been debates about whether patients who insert their own needles really don't need the gloves. Personally, I think my care partner needs the gloves more than I do. Though I do wash my hands and use anti-septic hand lotions like Purell. Thanks for your suggestions! Hey thats cool, can you make a home video of your setup and upload to Youtube?
