Like Kozar, I may be gone for a few days.
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.

Until you're back home, I hope your medical people treat you well so you're better.

(30,761 posts)It was not that long ago. The hospital that performed it has yet to send the records to my new pulmonologist. I am freaking out about that, too. I know that draining fluid from the lung is not usually major. But I don't know if it is usually done when there is a blood clot present. I would like to live a few more years.
