Two updates in 1 day. All our prayers were answered today when Dr. Guthrie was able to drain 74 cc of fluid from my right chest cavity. She said, "This never happens...I can't believe that it worked." I already feel much more comfortable and less tight. I will see her again on Thursday to see how it is going. I now have a large ace wrap over my chest to provide compression so the fluid isn't encouraged to come back. She also discouraged as much use of my arms...so back to the couch I go. BUMMER! I will try and be a good patient.(and be patient)
