Superman Falls

Hey Guys, I got my dick knocked in the dirt today..I was going to have my final drain pulled, I was happy... the short of it....not only did they not pull my drain, they had to do a needle aspiration on a previous site....this needle looked like the antenna on a car.... There was no pain, everything is still numb from the PS, just a mind F**k...having a needle that size stuck in your crotch... Ok doc going to hawaai, russ has drains, russ has no income for another 10 days.... life will be good....just not today.... i may respond to every post for the next 10 days just to be distracted...bare with me... Russ

Russ, Was it a Seroma? I was fortunate and nothing like it with my PS, But had a HUGE Seroma- (1.5 liters) From previous reconstruction of my abdominal muscles.  Eeeekk! Had it drained about every 2 weeks for 3 months. Eventually it was left alone as the fluid began to “Organize” and began more gelatinous “Goo” rather than fluid. It re-absorbed SLOWLY into my body as it was basically eaten as a source of protein by my system.  By SLOWLY, I’m talkin’ 6 more months before it was completely gone. Not too bothersome, just a big azzed Lump on my stomach. When they were first draining it, It would produce about 10% less ‘out-put’ with each aspiration. The reason mine was such an issue was because I’m on Coumadin for Life. (Artificial Heart Valve) and I had/have a 38x50cm sheet of Kevlar Mesh holding all of my “Frankenstein-esque” Abdominal muscles in place. (some ‘external obliques’ serving as ‘internal obliques’ and for some missing “Rectus Abdominis muscles”)  Way Too Much Info--- Yes! To speed the re-absorbtion of the Seroma, My Doc recommended Extra Water intake, and lower Sodium intake.  My Bariatric Nutritionist (I have a separate one from my Cardiologist) recommended eating Parsley in or on Everything I cooked / ate, where it would be ok in the food.  That and extra celery.  Apparently those are both mind diuretics and cause the body to seek out internal fluid for use.  They speed the processing of waste through the system… That’s so much more than anyone ever need to know, but sounds like you’re stuck on the Board for a bit, waiting to finish up healing… Thought I’d throw some more crap for you to read…. Hang in there! And demand a little foreplay Before they head at your crotch with sharp shiny instruments!!  Now I'm back to work ..............for Hours and Hours....... Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Dxe, I guess it was a seroma...he just said fluid....and i disassoiated pretty fast...somewhere in the vacinity of Mr happy....not that big, about 100cc.... but i'm fine, my therapist said I'll be fine.... russ

Russ, That doesn't sound like a pleasant experience at all.  Hang it there.  Things will improve.

Wow!  You have been through the ringer today.  Too bad you can't have a big ol martooni and pass out! Russ are you an RN?  I thought I read that in one of your posts.  If so....it's a ***** being on the other side of that needle isnt' it? Hang in there! Ken
