After a not so great night of sleep, off I went to the hospital to get drained. Dr. Skaryak, the thoracic surgeon, is such an amazing person. She explained the procedure to me. Needle in the back after numbing it, and then drain it into a vacuumed bottle. What we want is straw colored fluid. Any sign of pink/blood is not a good sign i.e. cancer.
Ten minutes later, more than 1 liter of clear straw colored fluid in a bottle. Phew – no sign of blood. Hopefully, the lab will validate the seemingly positive news. Did I mention that I have never seen such a freakin long needle in all my life!
Carpe Diem.
Ouch. that gave me the shivers.
