Hi all,
This is Rich. I'm home again! My hospital stay was unexpected to say the least and I finally got home Saturday evening. Then I needed a day to recoup from the chest tube and other things. My left lung was filled with fluid and it took days to drain. I didn't realize how much fluid a lung could hold. Well, I never thought about it before, so...............
I'm still getting my blood checked to adjust certain drugs. It'll have to balance out sometime.
I don't have much of an appetite lately and I think it's because of all the meds. They really play havoc on my stomach. But all I can say now is that it's nice to breathe again. The docs tell me that fluid like this is expected after major surgery but rarely happens more than the once. (Thank God)
I'm still pretty tired from the week and haven't exercised yet, but I can't wait to start. I know I'll feel a lot better when I do.
You'll all know. Thanks yinz guys.

P.S. Brynn worked on my back again today and really loosened it up. THANK B!
