No. No one realized what was going on until I went home 12 days post surgery. I developed plural effusion which compressed my right lung and my liver resulting in a return trip to the hospital for another 12 days. During that stay, I had a thoracentesis with 500 ml taken out every other day until IVR finally intervened and put in a drain. It doesn’t end there, but the next phase is a story for another day.
