7 Liters!

The draining went well today, and so far there isn't any unusual swelling, like the last time. **knock on wood**

They were able to take 7 liters, so I took a picture of it. I hope I am not offending anyone by posting it. Bill had a little pain when the doctor inserted the catheter into his abdomen. It made him jump and call out in pain, which in turn, made me jump and call out in (sympathy) pain. My heart was racing... I almost asked them to take my blood pressure too. After that though, the draining went quickly. Last time he felt kind of shaky when walking out, so we watched him closely and the nurses had him drink some juice. He was still a little wobbly when we left, but by the time we got home he felt better. He is really groggy again and slept this afternoon after we got home. He came down for dinner, but I could tell he wasn't excited about it. He just needs to relax and sleep for a day or two in order to keep the swelling down. All in all... a pretty productive day!
