Ascites draining possibly tommorow: dangerous?
How bad is this? Any risks? Moffit wants to do it and her primary wont give her the referral. he wants her to go to a radiologist with Florida medical. Is this a simple procedure? how long till it comes back after this is done. Her surgury is June 25th.
At the beginning I had radiology do my drainings a few times and they were much MUCH better than the gyn oc. people. they used sonography to guide the way and were slower and more gentle. This was before the pleurex cath. which just stayed in (which pulminary eventually placed). If they are offering this to your mom I think it is a good thing honestly.
I didn't know that radiologists did ascites draining. Please let us know how your mom is doing after the procedure. We know how uncomfortable she has been. When the ascites are gone I think she'll feel much better.
