Glad you're back home and in a place you will be able to get some rest. It's amazing how loud, non-stop and chaotic it is in a hospital, crazy. Looking forward to your posts and seeing you out and about when you are up for it!

It was definitely hard to get a good nights sleep -

here's how my week went:

Saturday (Jan 22) morning around 1 AM, I get out off bed to get a drink. That's when the shit hit the fan. My breathing just want shallow and I struggled to get the next breath in. My niece was still awake at the time and I had her wake up her mom to get me to the hospital. Sister decided to call 911 which was a good call cause I would have never made it to the car. Paramedics were at the door with in 10 minutes. They quickly gave me oxygen which calmed me down in a matter of seconds. They got me to the hospital and was told I was running a high fever and later on, the ER staff told me I was anemic (3 times below normal) so they got ready for a blood transfusion. I was O+ and they had plenty in stock for me. I ended up with 5 units of blood. On on top of all this, I also had a large amount of fluid build up around my right lung. They ended up extracting 3 liters as I lay on my side, wide awake for about an hour during this particular procedure. When that was all said and done and did another operation (this time, they put me to sleep), they put 3 holes just below my armpit and did a "video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. "No gross tumor but clearly abnormal appearing pleura". "The lung had a clot on the surface of it and it was removed".
They then left a tube in me for another 4 days to drain any extra fluids. So I basically looked and felt like Neo (Matrix) for the entire week. I'm glad I'm finally unplugged 

...appreciate and enjoy every breath you take.
