I am a dialysis nurse, so I am constantly spiking saline bags above my head, repositioning pt's chairs in the trendelenberg position (only if they are crashing) and lifting saline, dialyzers, etc. How long should I wait to return? I know that use of your arms is a tedious thing after BA surgery, and I would not want to go backwards in the healing process by doing too much, too soon.
