Tap the other one

Yippee! Well, first I have to laugh out loud with a good chuckle that I am actually excited to have a doctor stick my intercostal muscles with lidocaine so that they can get a catheter in between my ribs to pull liquid out of my left lung today. But I am thrilled. My Onc just made his daily appearance at 6 am and said that he and the cardiologist decided this was the best approach. I said, "Yeah, make into a leaky water hose."
I'll stay in touch later today. But the good news, is that my heart looks great, he said. And I am going to start getting better soon.
