Drain Fluid - yuk

Tues. Sept. 23 I went back to the hospital in the afternoon to have the fluid drained from the lung area and it was amazing to be able to breathe again. I told everyone it is like when you are kids and your big brother sits on your chest and you think you are going to die but then they get off and you can breathe again. It was amazing the difference. They actually drained almost a full liter of fluid out at that time and told me that they probably would be doing it again if I was like most patients. Then I went and had the X-rays and they did about 30 of them from head to toe. I went home and waited for the next day’s call. I did tell Julie about the possible cancer conversation and that we would know for sure the next day I hoped.
