Today was a good day! I had a chest xray this morning and an ultrasound this afternoon. The xray showed improvement in my lungs...I could have told them that just by my breathing. The ultrasound showed that the clot in my leg had shrunk to a level such that no further Coumadin needed at this time...just the shots while I am cooped up in the hospital. I have been breathing deeply and coughing like crazy to force the liquid out of the space around my lungs...with some success...hopefully enough! I mentioned that I am not eating a tremendous amount because I can't stand the food...the Doc mentioned I could have outside food as long as it follows my diet plan...so if anyone comes around lunch or dinner...give me a call and we can plan...I can finally have spinach salad...but the dressing choices are limited....and I am dying for a Fuji or gala apple. Or yoplait Greek yogurt.
Tomorrow is a big day...chest ct to see if my lungs are taking back the pleural space. The nurse said my left lung was still dim...not the best news but I know we have gotten tons of liquid out in the last 24 hours. Keep the prayers coming that the fluid is gone!!!
Goodnight! Enjoy the pic of me cruising the halls with my chest tube drain collector, super loud vacuum, and pancreatic drains...all carried by my wonderful bedside commode...
Thankful for the good day and progress!
