Well I had a cat scan which showed fluid on the lung & then a sonogram to see if there were any Pockets of fluid.
There is about 600 ccs of "dirty" fluid so tomorrow they will procede to drain it out. Send the fluid for testing to see if the "dirtiness" is caused by the same bacteria I am culturing etc.
Its routine I know, but its a first for me so I am a tad nervous. I was able to speak with Robert tonight without Jazz there which makes it much easier for me to be candid with my thoughts.
I am hoping this will ease the pain quickly & completely so I can be real aggressive with my treatment. Mind you I will still probably get the bronch tho. The top lobe she is hoping to clean out yet. All the fluid is in the lower lobe!
SO has anyone had fluid drained from their lungs? The procedure itself I am aware of even before them explaining it, but what about pain or recovery time?
Miss all of you!
