We were back at Emergency yesterday, of course they could not take the word of a layman and went through the whole protocol again - blood tests -EKG - X-ray. Well at least they stopped short of the CAT scan - bloody bureaucrats. Finally they removed 1700Ml of the same fluid and we found an intelligent doctor in Radiology. He gave Florence their fax number and said have your doctor fax in a standing order for a pleural effusion. That way the next time she is short of breath w go straight to radiology. We went in at 11:00 AM and did not get out until 5:30 PM and I'm sorry but that is unconscionable. Despite Saint Paul's admonition I have never been able to suffer fools gladly.

She is sleeping quietly just now an I shall let her rest- funny she scares me sometimes because she sleeps so soundly. In 32 years I have never heard her snore or anything close to that.

Sorry to rant but she is my love and my life.

Saw orange paint all along the side of the driveway so I guess Comcast came while we were out to lay out the path of the old entrance cable. Good because right now the service sucks.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, it is appreciated.
