Dear Holly, you are brave to post while going through your ordeal. I hope they have your pain undercontrol. I hate to hear that you had this condition to begin with after the tos resection. I know you have good care. I will pray that your stay will be short, and that your pain goes away. Removal of any tube isn't fun, and I hope they are compassionate with you during that proceedure too. Get out of their quickly, home to where you are comfortable. You will be in my prayers. ginnie
