Hello all,
Dr Keshishian said I can lose the Tube! I can not tell you how happy I am!
He actually said I can remove it myself. Told me how to do it...ick I was at work and he wanted me to grab a pair of scissors..."Ill talk you through it" Crazy
I lean towards the queazy side so I opted to have him call my PCP.
Best,
Whit

Congrats. Now you will forever have a water bottle by your side.
You are so positive and upbeat. I forget that you have had complications.

That's wonderful news!
Ya, I can't imagine yanking even the drainage tubes. To me, a feeding tube would be a lot worse. (Heck, I've never even removed any of my own stitches, and there have been quite a few of those in my lifetime.)
Enjoy your new found freedom....

Awesome!! I still have mine and as much as I hate the damn thing and have uber paranoia about another infection, I am SO glad I have it right now. There have been days (namely last week) when I can't even gag down water. Nothing sounds good, tastes good, etc. and when I do eat I have to force myself to swallow quite literally. Soooooo the dreaded question...did it hurt as much as the drains? LOL congrats on being able to move forward! -Lisa |

Hi Lisa,
I grew up in San Diego...Chula Vista actually! I am very home sick.
No it did not hurt one bit. I did not even know it was out until I saw my Dr. walking away with it to toss it! I could have done it!
I see you had Dr. K...I love him he is the best!
Take care and take the time you need to heal.
Whit

So are you a Chargers/Padres fan or have you converted to 49'ers/Giants? Since our teams suck all the time, I have become a huge Packers fan - winning is nice. Hahaaa glad you are feeling better. We must get together should you return for a visit. |

Wow PGB, I'm practically your neighbor in Mira Mesa! Be sure to give me a shout if you need anything. I don't know any other DSers in real life, so it would be nice having someone local.

Lisa,
Yes I am a Charger and Padre fan. I do route for the Giants and 49'ers when they are not playing the Padres or Chargers. I am not, nor will I ever be, a part of the Raider Nation. To many bad memories when they were in LA. I will definitely let you know when I am in the area.
Thanks Janna,
No not easy but not a difficult as some. The further out it gets the less I remember... I consider myself lucky.
Best,
Whitney
