Spent the morning in the ER after another sleepless night. The ER doc was the same as Friday, which made things a bit easier. He was able to cut into it this time and remove about 3 tablespoons of fluid. he also inserted a drain so it will continue to do so. kinda gross but the pain is now from the incision and such rather than from pressure, which gives me a bit more mobility. I go to the surgeon tomorrow to find out whether I have to heal and be asymptomatic before the surgery or if they can do it now. Doing so means approx. 8 days of healing time, so it'd be better to just be done with it now, especially since I have no job, but my body's also in need of a break, so I'm not sure how it'll go.
However, one of my oldest friends since childhood, Dan came over today. I thought he was just coming to visit and play with the oh-so-neglected puppy (whom I've been unable to play with this week) but he showed up with grocery bags of healthy food and then drove me to the store to get medication and the supplies necessary for this draining process stuff. It was such a sweet gesture, it'll keep me going for a while. I've been so down lately due to the combo of pain/lack of sleep/no one around and this was such an unexpected lift.
