Yep, picture Popeye's forearms and that's what my left arm looks like... and no, I'm not left handed ;)..
Seems these ugly vein thingy's they put in your arm can get punctured by the dialysis needle going straight through it instead of along it. Well that happened yesterday and that rip snorting dialysis machine decided that the return path for my immaculately cleaned blood should just be my arm. Needless to say, just before my arm split like a carrot, I sought some attention from the staff...
Not a good day yesterday but today went OK as they were still able to use the arm even though it looks like a Sherrin and will very shortly be black (or for the politically correct - pigmentaly challenged) from the elbow to the end of my fingers - wooohoo !!
