...and More Fluid

I had another paracentisis again today after having an ultrasound yesterday of my abdomen that showed moderate amounts of fluid in my abdomen. We got more fluid today versus the last one a couple of weeks ago. Today we got 2.275 liters (imagine a 2 liter bottle of coke,though it is more the color of mountain dew) where the last one we got 600 milliliters. It is a relief to have the fluid drained off. My abdomen was rigid, I couldn't eat as much, I was short of breath, along with just being uncomfortable.

I am going to Phoenix the week of April 10th to visit my Mom and Dad. My Mom is enrolled in some clinical trials for her cancer so they won't be going back to Michigan this summer, so I decided to go out and see them in Arizona. We will have a nice little visit.

My voice is still only a whisper. I am doing speech therapy, but haven't seen much progress.

Have a great rest of your week.
