My I.J. Catheter was finally removed from my neck

The clinic entrance from where I was located

I am really expecting that my catheter will get removed yesterday after my dialysis because my fistula is already a mature fistula and not a new one. It was only regrafted to the artery of my arm.

So because of that, there will be no anymore 4 succeeding dialysis session tests to do prior to removing the I.J. catheter on my neck. It was indicated in the clearance from the vascular surgeon. I pointed that to the head nurse and telling her that it is not pertaining to my already mature fistula but for the new ones only.

Because of that, the head nurse decided to pull out my catheter which had made me so happy afterwards. Now I am just waiting for my wounds to heal, the part where the drip bag's hose was pulled out, the section of my arm where the stitched part was still partially open. Then my neck where the I.J catheter was pulled from. The head nurse packed it with pressue gauze and had sealed it shut with plastic seal.
