Today, Tuesday November 10th, Dad Mahin had a doctor's appointment in Salina, Kansas. The doctor is pleased with the degree of healing since the earlier surgery that installed a dialysis port on Dad's arm. The site is still sore to the touch and is not yet ready to be used for 3 X a week kidney dialysis treatments. Today the doctor was able to detect that the surgery was successful since blood is flowing around the arm port like its supposed to.
Dad's next appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, December 1st, and possibly that would be the day that the doctor will approve the use of the new arm port for dialysis treatments.
