These days, it is actually very safe and the chances of any problems are very small. I'm sure there are people out there that will tell you that they've had problems with it and yes, the side effects can be nasty (as you witnessed last year when A woke up from surgery) but the benefits out weigh the problems. I personally have never been a fan of chiropracters but I think that is because the ones I've been in contact with feel that anything & everything can be fixed with their work. I'm sorry but abdominal pain due to an enlarged appendix can not be fixed with a back adjustment....it just can't. It needs surgery.<br />I'm not sure if there are other options regarding getting tubes placed without a general anesthesia. I would research that option and see if it's possible to do something like that without completely putting her to sleep. Maybe some medications that put her into lala land but allow her short term memory to be erased (for instance, Versed, the medication they use when doing a colonoscopy).<br />I'm sure whatever you decide for my mini BFF will be the right answer even if other people don't feel that way.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058916265378159236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167783085766202519.post-43827328541063129612012-01-06T06:45:36.592-06:002012-01-06T06:45:36.592-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058916265378159236noreply@blogger.com
