Showing Original Post only (View all)Like Kozar, I may be gone for a few days. [View all]
I am having fluid drained from my lung. I am scared because there are complications. I have a blood clot on my lung. I will be having lovorox injections for three days before the procedure. The last time they drained my lung, I was in the hospital for three days, on antibiotics to prevent pneumonia. I went home with a lot of anti-pneumonia pills.
I also have two compression fractures which are very painful.
I don't know why the draining of my lung is so important at this time. I don't understand everything that is going on and I am afraid.
I hope to see you soon. I hope I am not dying. I am a lung cancer survivor.
