Dialysis

Yesterday we went to Muskegon to see Dr Mallon. He put a fistula In my right arm, so that sometime in the future I will be ready for dialysis. Everything went well except-afterward I could not pee.It's happened to me every time they put me out. I called the Dr. thinking I was going to have to go to the hospital. He said give it time. I finally did pee after 2 a.m. Will see the Dr. again august 12.

On July 14 we drove down to cathys and stayed overnite. Wed. morning cindy took us to Michigan City to catch the North shore to chicago. She was returning ayden to Kansas. An hour and a half found us in chicago at 11th street station. A short walk to the Essex Hotel found our friends Jim and Shirley Barrette waiting for us.We took a double decker bus tour around down town and ate at the signature room on top to the hancock building, and played canasta in our room that night. Thursday we went to navy pier, rode the ferris wheel, ate at billy goats and went to the theater to see aladin ( we all enjoyed it).I found a good place to rest while the others shopped.Canasta again but bythe pool. Friday we took the train backto Mich. City where cathy was waiting for us. Drove on to Muskegon to see Dr. Mallon (to map out the fistula) and on home.
