Hi all, Laura I hope you are ok with the lung problem. It seems like so much for you to go through. Insurance companies are a trip, I work for one, not medical, same stupid rules. So, my fever remained at 101F, off to the ER (Same hosp that did my suregery, so it was a ride to the city) They took me asap, did every imaginable test even CT scans. No fluiid, no internal bleeding (which they thought due to my low blood count). All turned out well and of course Murphy's law, no fever for 6 hours. The cardio-thoracic team felt that the fever was part of my healing and it was wise of me to come to the ER. So, I left the hospital @3:00 feeling reassured that at least all parts are working. I still cannot talk about the details at the sub-acute facility, my pressure goes up. I have a bad italian temper, chest busted open or not,it was like a scene from Prison Break.,
