Exercising AVFistula

Exercising the AV Fistula so it becomes stronger for use for Hemo Dialysis.

This is my 2nd AV Fistula as the first one failed after only 10 days because my veins are so tiny.

More about my story on http://kidneykorner.com

Take care and I welcome any questions.

I also have forums on http://kidneykorner.com/smfbb/

** I made this video myself in my home this month but have had a kidney transplant Sept 2007. I had to still do hemo dialysis until Nov 14th 2007 however because of Acute Tubular Necrosis. Am doing fine now. Telling you just incase anyone assumes by this video that I am still on dialysis. I know in the future I will be again (this is my 2nd transplant I am on now but I am still young and the first transplant was from a younger donor and lasted me 11 good years! I am hoping this 2nd one will last at least that long).

So lifting a light weight can be just as good as squeezing a soft ball?

Yes because you increase the flow of blood through the arm.
