On the way to ER @ Community North.

Soooo. Pain has been worsening since Sunday night. I called this morning and asked if we can find it if the fluid has returned without an ER visit. I got an X-ray in Greenfield, which is connected with Community Healthcare. Fluid has accumulated again between my lung and lung membrane (if I understand correctly). The technical term is a pleural effusion. I hoped they could do an outpatient procedure, but was told to go to ER. They will need to do a CT exam to determine if they can drain it like last Friday, or if they need to put in another chest drainage tube. Oh, please not that!
