Tonight I am allowing myself to vent some of my frustrations. I've come to terms with the physical changes for the most part...and certainly don't expect not to have any problems.
If you're going to read this, get some cheese to have along with my whine....
I am sick to death of coughing. Not little ladylike throat clearing...I'm talking about coughing like I'm trying to cough up a leg. My side is so sore from coughing...I have a hard time speaking...I finally just sat down and cried today. Boo hoo cry baby.
Can't play the harp very well when I'm having full body coughing fits. Imagine explaining that kind of cough to patients in the clinic. Doesn't exactly engender confidence in one's patients.
After my surgery, the area where my left lung had been filled up with fluid. This is expected and good. My heart, stomach, trachea and esophagus all shifted to the left. The fluid does not hold them in their original places. My sense is that my symptoms are related to this shift. I have developed terrible reflux...so of course I'm going to cough.
If you're a praying person, please pray with me that the cough would resolve so that I can function. If I'm missing something that I need to pay attention to, I'm listening.
