Re: Fine needle aspiration drainage procedure to Angie

February 7, 2005

I don't want to scare anyone but I had that procedure done with NO sedatives

or anything! All they did was give me a shot of something but the tech said

all that would do is numb my skin. It really was a painful experience. I

had no idea what the procedure would be like or I would have asked for

something. They made me stay and lay down for about an hour after because they

said

I looked pale.....dah! I wonder why? They had a really hard time

puncturing my cyst so it took several jabs to get through and actually get

fluid from

it. The tech was going to stop but I told him no because I didn't want to

have to come back and go through it all over again. I should have stopped so

I could have medicated before the procedure. I am sure you will get

meds......I hope I did not scare you. Sorry!

Sending lots of happy thoughts your way....

Marisa,

Wow! That was awful. I don't think the docs in ton would do that to

me! My doc in Augusta Ga. won't do anything until they clear it and he is

letting them do everything else. I assume he means that he will let them do

anything like that and from what I have heard they wouldn't do that.

I hope you don't have to go through that again! You must be superwoman!!
