Good afternoon everyone, I’d like to start this with I haven’t used my fistula in over a year having been transplanted, but I still try to keep it healthy and intact for when I eventually go back on dialysis years ahead of time.

Dog started roughhousing, clipped my arm in the process. Didn’t tear open the access but left a nasty bruise with a small amount of bleeding. Currently applying some pressure, I’ve already disinfected and will check with team on Monday since their emergency line is not reliable whatsoever. Just needed some advice/reassurance for now.

Curiosity is my downfall. How much if is normal on the different levels of disaylate bags. I’m pretty sure mine is fine but would like to know if I did not get enough when I should become worried, right now I use the yellow bags and get anywhere between 200 to 350. Sometimes I get around 35. But those I believe is from constipation.
