Had my paracentesis today

They removed 3660 ml of peritoneal fluid from my abdomen. I lost about 8 lbs. I thought a camera phone pic would be a good idea.

No but the nurse told me she once dropped a full one on the floor and it shattered. A bit of a mess.

Only if I was someone like Paris Hilton.

Well, looks like you called it on the one gallon mark! Has it taken off some of the pressure?

dalf June 27 2007, 04:04:31 UTC

Yes a lot of the pressure is down and I can eat more but it also removed the cushioning of the tumors themselves so when I bend over or twist my abdomen my ribs hit them directly or they get folded and it hurts like hell.

I suppose "kewl" is not the response you're going for, but the green color is kinda fascinating.

In smaler volumes it was more of a tan with less ...... stuff floating in it.

HOLY FUCKING CHRIST!

Please tell me you're feeling better now with this fluid out of your body.

dalf June 27 2007, 04:07:32 UTC

less pressure so I dont feel bloated all the time and I can eat more than like 5 mouths fulls. However there is nothing protecting the tumors now so I am a bit sore in front now.
