Swelling...

It has been a long few days, but so far, so good. The swelling has stayed to a minimum, although he hasn't really gotten out of bed... except for tonight. We went to dinner tonight, and he managed to eat and didn't end up puffed up like a balloon. He does have (it seems) most of the fluid back, and it has only been 5 days since the last draining. That is a little disheartening, and I can tell he is frustrated by it. He generally just does not feel well... even more so than normal. Luckily, it has been easy for him to sleep the majority of the day. He was pretty wiped after going to dinner tonight. Hopefully, the swelling stays down!

This is probably a dumb question... but what causes the fluid build-up, not the swelling, but the fluid he has to have drained?

Thinking about you all the time!
