My surgery is scheduled at 1. The plan is to get some kind of powder into the pleural space so it can dry it up and seal it. Doesn't sound too difficult. The thing that bothers me is that I will be on a ventilator for a few days. I know that this is part of the treatment and recovery so I'm not wiggin out over it. It's the possibility of a longer intubation that is on my mind. A one to two week intubation was brought up, which goes against my DNR wishes.
There has been much discussion over this. I am giving it a 14 day maximum limit on the vent. My family will keep you all updated.
Love,
Praying for your speedy recovery, Pateeta. xoxoxo

Hi Pateeta. Your style of writing is nicely descriptive, so it is easy to picture exactly what you are going through. I could imagine/almost feel what you are feeling when you said "It's a weird feeling." I believe that it is very similar to the feeling that I would have in your situation. Experience and greater understanding help many of us to face life's challenges more easily and with greater peace of mind. Thank you for your help with that.
I hope that things take an unexpected turn and that I get to read many more of your blogs. If not, then I wish you a peaceful journey filled with well-being and love.
