Greetings from me at the hospital. I came in through emergency, and they admitted me last night. When they did the chest x-ray, the tech said "oh my". I said that didn't sound good, and she said it wasn't. 2/3rds, or more of my left lung was filled with fluid.

Today they used a needle, and drained 1.5 liters of fluid from my lung. There is more fluid, but they can only drain so much at a time. It's not a fun procedure at all.

I should know more about everything tomorrow, as quite a few of the test results will be back in, and should reveal more about both what I'm dealing with, and how to treat it.

Oh my - that sounds awful. Hope they get you on some good treatments soon and you feel better quickly!

Hope you are breathing better after the tap.

OMG! Getaclue! What is your body doing to you anyway! I'm so sorry to hear what happened but so glad that you are where you need to be to get things taken care of yourself. you should at least be breathing a lot better now and feeling a touch better without all that fluid in your lung.

I'll keep you in my prayers and hope you get home soon. In the mean time.........

I looked at buying from them, but the Juki ruler foot was 80 bucks. No, thanks.

I watched some videos on youtube on how to use rulers and I wanted to learn. This is the site I ordered from you can buy one or sets or however you like.
I just got some to start playing with. I paid 79. that was 14.00 for the shipping from Au.

Maybe they can put in a Pleurx so you don't have to continually get punctured? We're here for you... all hours of the day and night (Diva has the night shift)

That's awful. I hope they get things under control quickly.
