Tube Out

My chest tube has been removed. It hurt 1000 times less coming out than going in. The narcotic required to alleviate the pain of the tube is no longer required. I am just on some Motrin. I feel deflated, flushed and exhausted. I will go home either tonight or tomorrow night. Thanks to everyone who visited called, sent flowers, e-mails, read this blog, brought me dinner, cookies etc. It really made a difference in my healing process. Regards, Gary
