@swordfish, It is good to get an update from you! I know you were busy today, getting that procedure done. I'm happy that you are getting some relief from all that fluid pressure. Maybe you can rest easier tonight. Are you able to eat yet?
Hang in there. And as @coastalgirl says, we are all cheering for you! Rosemary

I am including this information on MRSA, if that turns out to be the culprit.
