The procedure today went really well. We drained some fluid out of a pocket in my abdomen using the assistance of a CT Scan. I felt the results immediately with relief from the pressure.
I got to stay awake for this one because they wanted to know when they bumped a sensitive spot. "Sensitive" is putting it nicely, the 2' needle that inserts the tubes has a very sharp end, and when an organ gets poked I nearly elevated off the table. Instinctively, my thumb was looking for the black dot of pain relief, but I wouldn't get that until I got back to my room. The really cool part is they set up the video so I could watch the needle roaming around inside, trying to find the bad stuff left over from my "cavity wash"
Had some great folks visit me which was really nice. Brooke is coming home tomorrow night and staying through the weekend.
Thanks for praying and walking my dog and all the other incredible things you've done for me and my family.
Dr. Nagamoto won't commit to my release time but we are hopeful for this weekend.
Love,
Dave
