Hi I have a drain for ascites for my heart. I do it myself it is marvellous but bear in mind it will probably need replacing after 18 months as only lasts a finite time.

Best wishes,

Jackie

This is such a good post Annie, because provision does vary from centre to centre, and it's good to know what can be done to help us.

I'm so glad the drain is working for you. My friend had to keep going back to hospital to have her ascites drained and it would take all day in the waiting room and then being seen. How I wish she'd know about this drain and she could have asked if it would have helped her.

Thanks so much for posting. xxx another Annie xxx

Thanks for posting your experience so encouraging. I was drained yesterday and a request sent in for permanent drain maybe next week or week after. I have had so many drains now it must be an improvement as I can't take many more. Hope you are ok. Love Sue x

That sounds great and your 'pushing' may help others in Glasgow. This forum is so useful. I wouldn't have known to push for a chest port if I hadn't read about it here and on the US forum.
