Thursday 12/4 UPDATE:
Doc just came in, and fluid drainiage has slowed down considerably so they will be using the talc this afternoon.
This means they'll be inserting the talc/medicine into the chest wall so it can start to try and seal up the space between the lungs and the chest wall.
Sounds like they'll then pull the actual tube out tomorrow morning and Ill hae to start my breathing exercizes asap.
Thats all I really know for now - more tomorrow.

- I changed the look again. Moving furniture takes too much effort. This seemed to fill that void. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fall and havent decided if Ill ever change this, although, a new seasonal header seems like fun. At the moment the summer is winding down, Im back on chemo for my fantastic THIRD relapse (and hopefully the last!), work knows my situation so Im not sneaking off on my lunch break to get blood work done, and everyones been great. Desperately seeking great health by the time fall rolls around. Theres way too much goin on.
