Wow what a difference. I feel so much better. Started yesterday that was Saturday and even better today. I can't wait to go to Rehab then home where I can do my own thing and get out and about. I hate being secluded like this. I enjoy outdoors and nature around me. Wynn Hospital is great even with weekend staff shortages and more green space is definitely needed it really helps increase recovery.

Well I seem to have sprung a leak. Leakage of air where the incision is when they removed the lower right lobe of lung. So back to OR in the morning of Wednesday for a Bronchoscopy fiberoptic with instillation of endobronchial tisseal. Medication to seal leak. Lol I think my body likes complications.

Sorry to hear that. It certainly has been a rough ride for you lately. I hope that you can soon climb back to a reasonable level health and get back to your routine without further complications. Hang in there PB. As I often say, this getting old isn't for sissies.

Well that procedure worked but today we have another air leak BUT it is much smaller than last one so sealing the area is working. I thought I was going to Rehab on Monday instead I have another bronchcospy scheduled for early morning. I hope this works.

They must be using cheap knockoff Fix A Flat from Dollar Tree to seal those air leaks. Lol Just kidding, hope you feel better.

I happened to say I hope the sealant doesn't come from a dollar store. That did not go over well. At least the food here is not bad. I have scrambled eggs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday the other days a cheese and spinach omelet.Three nights a week I order the citrus Salmon. It is great.They offer French toast,toasted cheese sandwich and pancakes but I not a fan.The tomato basil soup that comes with lunch tray is great.You can order what ya want to eat from a nice menu that you get once a patient. Also the view of the area from the huge window in each room is fantastic. I am on 5th floor east right above the Nexus and Auditorium and Police department headquarters.I like watching the police head off to there shift and then return and switch shifts the gate I see gets a workout.Each room also has a big screen TV.

Wow! With a menu like that you won't want to go home. Citrus salmon 3 nights a week? Spinach and cheese omelets? Ask them if they do "door dash" delivery so you can order from there and have it brought to your home, lol.
Actually I hope you are on the rebound and feeling a bit better. You need to get out of there and back to your routine. In my prayers my friend.

Good to hear some encouraging news. I think they found the Dollar Store stuff was too expensive but got a great deal on some flood damaged stuff from North Carolina. Don't share that with your doctors, surgeons had their sense of humor removed in med school.

When I was in 8th grade came down with double pneumonia. Was at Faxton Hospital. All I ever ordered was cooked spinach and vanilla ice cream. They sent two nutrionists to find out what the issue was with their food. I told them beacuse it was too painful to swallow that was all I could eat that didnt hurt..

Sounds like you are on the mend PB. Work hard at getting your strength back in your legs so you will be able to return to your regular routine soon. In my prayers my friend.
