Re: Re: CATHETER????????

[Guest guest]

Judi, I know for a fact I did not get a catheter! Trust me!!! Ask DR. Bill

if he got one. However I did get infiltration and phlebitis, so watch out

out for the IV nurse the day of your surgery. Now to be fair, I also got a

new lease on life and so far kidneys and a liver that are looking better. My

weight is slow, BUT I lost around 30 lbs just before my surgery, so I am

grateful for the slowly moving needle (but I would be kissing the doc's feet

if I lose 50 pounds by my 40th birthday in November) HEAR that Doc if you

shorted me you just missed out on getting your shoes shined by my lips..LOL.

Judi, I don't remember saying wear finger nail polish, just toe polish. And

yes I will be your pump girl.

see ya soon

Thanks for the update . It's not getting the

cath that upsets me actually but from being a nurse

I do know it is a possible way to introduce bacteria.

It is supposed to be done " sterile technique " and

I have yet to see a nurse follow strict sterile

technique w/o breaking their field somewhere. In

our OB/GYN Dept they do so many and have soo

many pts they laugh at me when I cover for the gals

there as they say " nobody does it THAT way " ......

each Dr sees 50 or 60 q day...we need FAST,FAST,FAST.

If I need it fine. But if I don't thats BETTER.

I'm sure I'll have plenty to think about after the 26th

with porthole dicomfort,tummy discomfort,reflux

discomfort,.....I have to feep a few orifices problem

free. Thx for the update, great news
