Dear friends

how i have missed you all and thank you for your well wishes!
i went in the hospital june 3rd with a lung infection. while i was there my new primary care said lets try to take some of this fluid off your abdomen, i have wanted this for a very long time so i said yes! they were able to take 20lbs of the 85 off...but then bad things happened. my potassium and salt dropped dangerously low and my kidneys were messing up. i felt like i had the worst flu ever.
it took them a week to stabilize me. i just got out on saturday night the 19th. i have had a few rough days at home, but feel stronger today.

i have resigned to the fact that this swelling is here to stay and i will just live with it, i am done trying to get rid of it. so pain mgt is all i have and that will have to be enough! i have learned my lesson.

thank you for your prayers and thoughts
Lori
