I'm still trying hard here to write another discussion despite my swelling hand. I and the boyfriend went to the Hospital for my Access Operation. Then I let the Surgeon check my right arm, the Surgeon said that they can't do anything for me at this point because of my swelling right hand, plus I am taking a higher dose of Antibiotic that will make me weak for the rest of the medication. So, the Surgeon had my re-scheduled next week if the swelling is not visible anymore. I'm still thankful because I will still have time to relax because, to be honest, I'm nervous.

In the photo is that the access thing that runs down your arm like a large vein? I've never seen anything like it before so I'm wondering.

@JustBhem Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection. I hope you will be fine soon.

Is you swelling hand the result of your kidney infection? I'm so sorry for your situation. I pray that you'll get better soon.

It is where the machine is inserted.

@renicemae Yes, I mean not literally the machine itself but the tube that attached to the Dialyser into the machine, that's how it works. My right hand is not better, it's swelling still and it's not okay.

@JustBhem Why would a machine be inserted there? Is that still related to your kidney treatment? Though your right hand looks better now, it still looks very painful. Can't imagine your pain. Pray more often.

The after picture is not okay, it's swelling and it's called Cellulitis meaning it has an infection.

I hope that the swelling comes down some more. It looks awkward, and I know it must be scary.

I think it looks better than it did, the veins aren't quite so prominent now. I am sorry you are going through that, I hope its not real painful.

you will know that the cellulitis will be treated if the mark of your vein is no longer visible.
