Ick..

I feel so sick to my stomach right now. They just pulled another full freakin' liter off my left (my other one) lung. It hurts. Defintely a different feeling this time. We got it all out, well..they leave a little so there isn't friction and tears. But my poor little lung. I can feel how squished its been. Now its trying to open back up and it hurts really bad. It makes me sick to my stomach. I don't like feeling my guts.

Right Lung Tap

This morning was eventful. My Onc came in at 6 am and said that I was going to get my lung taped. They can't do both in one day, just in case there is a complication like lung collapse or something. I was wheeled out of here and into the room to get the procedure done. It hurts really really bad to sit up right for my heart right now. I was hooked up to the blood pressure machine and to make a long story short, after she numbed my muscles in between my ribs the doc started to draw the LITER of fluid from around my right lung. I couldn't handle it anymore, the sitting up. I almost threw up and my blood pressure skyrocketed downward and I got dizzy and almost fainted from the pain. They had to stop the procedure, and with the x-rays they just did it looks like they didn't get it all out.
I have had to get fentanyl this morning and another one soon. I am so much pain.
