Last night I sweat through my sheets three times...almost like when a fever breaks but I didn't have a fever...but it was marking the end of days of fevers. I was scheduled for a drain check at 1pm, but that got pushed back and finally rescheduled for Wednesday at 8am. I was quite bummed at that because drain 2 is showing similar stages as drain 1 that failed. I will have questions for them at the proceedure. In the afternoon I had some energy and finally got enough pain relief that the chest tube didn't dominate my thoughts. Had a nice visit with Aunt Debbie and Uncle Joe then tried to relax more. I picked up my water consumption which means more bedside commode assistance needed...because the chest tube has light suction and a wanky measure device (pic attached) I can't get far from bed unless it is a scheduled walk which I will do tomorrow...
I am supposed to get another chest xray to see how much fluid is left. I pray that the chest tube drains well today and then dries up.
Looking forward to seeing Mike & Melissa tomorrow morning. Thank you to all of you that sent encouragement cards!!
Going to get some rest, I will post more tomorrow.
Love and prayers going out to Chris & Kristen, Ramez & Heather, and Dylan & Carolyn. Praying for healing in your families.
2:25 A.M... Crazy schedule. Remember that big blue Angel you told me all about way back when? Well! Ya go Her working overtime! We love you and, of course, we pray.
