Hi Trix,

I also had pluracy after the first rib resection, landed back in the hospital for 10 days and had fluids drawn from my pleural space twice. That was not a fun experience, but they had me so medicated in the hospital that I don't recall much agony... I was just glad to be told that I wasn't going to die from it. 10 days... daily x-rays (sometimes 2x a day)...I'm sure I still glow in the dark.

Are you getting any inhalers for home use? How are you feeling now, lung-wise?

I'm THRILLED that you can 'feel' again! Take it slow and easy!
