October 12, 200916 yr Looks like I may not be having this done -- at least temporarily. Came down with a little lung bug. Ok. I'm no doctor but could you have gotten a lung infection from the tube still being in there?
October 12, 200916 yr Author Ok. I'm no doctor but could you have gotten a lung infection from the tube still being in there?Probably not. One of my doctors, this morning, painted a really grim picture of what would happen if they damage that vein while attempting to get the tube out.
October 13, 200916 yr I pity you BF. I don't even like getting a teeth cleaning from the dentist let alone something like that!
October 14, 200916 yr PH had something like that if you remember. The doctor just ended up cutting it down and tieing it off....(ok...the work tieing does not look right, OH WELL) anyway, it needed to come out because it could cause a lot of infection and such....however, it was adheard to veins in which the tube was placed in.....anyway, PH, (God guided) has not had any problems with it yet...this was done about a year or two ago...so many surgeries that i can't keep up with when one happened....anyway, really hope everything goes great with the decision.
October 14, 200916 yr Author Thanks Mrs. PH. This has been such an agonizing decision. However, I think my family, and friends I've talked to, have all been glad that I decided to postpone. I'll be seeing another doctor, who I trust, on Thursday. If I decide to make a go of it after all, I'll at least have the solace of having talked it through with him.
