So, I had another pleural effusion and so now I have a lot of ologists in my life again. Pulmonologist, Rheumatologist, you pick an ologist and I now have one in my life.
I don't think I will get away from keeping them out of my life until we figure out what is causing these things. Hopefully, we will be able to remove at least one of these from my life.
I have decided to blog my way through this as it is the only thing that will help me to remember all of this junk.
I have been spending time getting over being in the hospital. The nice thing about being in the hospital was that you get a chance to think. The bad thing is... well you are in the hospital.
