Busy Day

I have had a busy day. My heart is still being very erratic, which both my cardiologist and pulmonologist say could be due to the procedure I had two days ago. My pumonologist took out my chest drain today (hooray!) even though he didn't want to initially. He said this morning's xray showed top of my lung had 'dropped down' and he wanted to reposition the tube and keep it in so the lung could re-inflate. I was SO bummed. But when he tried to reposition it, the tube was twisted and blocked, so he pulled it. He may have to put a little catheter in if the lung doesn't inflate on it's own, but he said it would be much less intrusive, so I think this is a good thing - and my side feels SO much better! I could use some 'inflation' prayers!
My pulmonologist said my lung is very inflamed, which means the procedure was working. This inflammation is what they think could be causing the heart problems. You know, if it isn't one thing it is another.
This morning, after the tube had been pulled and my IV with heart medicine removed (I'm getting that by mouth now) I was able to go to the restroom without two carts full of tubes and a nurse's assistance to maneuver the carts. I could actually go all by my little lonesome! Score! It is experiences like this that make you appreciate the little things in life!
I had a little breakfast and a little lunch today, so I am on the mend in that area, too. It is nice to feel half way healthy again!
Thanks for your continued prayers!
