Doctor Appointment
I went to my surgeon's yesterday in hopes that I would get my chest tubes pulled. He said because of my high fever I had the night before it would be unsafe to pull them until I know if I have some kind an infection or not. I was sent home with the tubes still in me and depressed. The tubes are very uncomfortable and not fun to have to work around. I will see him in a week but I don't think I can count on them being pulled until they actually count to three and yank it out. I am tired from the pain medications and the lack of sleep at night. It is hard to find a comfortable position being propped up with tubes coming out your back and side. At least I am home and even though I have been unpleasant to be around at times my family is still loving and there to help me. Thanks for checking in on me.

Thinking of you & your family a lot. I'm so sorry that the tubes didn't come out - I know you are very uncomfortable, especially having to deal with a high fever on top of it all. I wish there was something I could do. Please do not hesitate to call me if you ever want to talk. Love, Margot
