I think I like Interventional Radiology days! Not only am I able to work a more "normal" 8 hour work day because Ron is down in IR for a good portion of the day, and then he sleeps the rest of the day but on top of that, it's hilarious when he comes back so goofy from the anesthesia!! The highlight of my week! Poor guy, I'm getting my kicks at his expense!
They came to take him to radiology about 9:30 and he was back by 12:30. They removed one of his drainage tubes, drain number 4, YEAH!! But, he had a wound vac added to his collection of medical paraphenelia to help close the hole in his belly. Unfortunately, wound vac was done in his room by a wound care specialist therefore he was awake and it was pretty painful. Fascinating to watch, but not for the squeamish! If you want details, let me know (Laura, can't wait to compare notes!) Basically, he traded one small Jpeg drain for another piece of equipment that is attached to vacuum on IV pole. That IV pole is getting to be a bear to push when we go on our walks!
Didn't see any of the doctors after procedure so don't have any details as to what the fistula-gram showed but should have more information tomorrow.
I'll update when I know more!
