Today at 5:00 I will have paracentesis, draining of the fluid, and they will put in a PleurX drain if they believe that will be helpful.  I am on the list for the Celiac Plexus Block tomorrow.  My pain has increased even with the increase in IV pain medication they have used to try to manage it.  I am hoping these procedures will help alleviate some of the pain.

It is very difficult for me to make blog entries between the pain, and the effects of the pain medication.  My mom will be helping me make the entries for now.  I am hopeful we will get the pain under control and I will be home by this weekend with my family.  Thank you for all your supportive messages on my blog, texts, and emails.  My mom reads them to me when I can't read them myself.
