I’ve developed a seroma – a fairly large pocket of serous fluid (lymph, etc.) under the incision site and extending up toward my shoulder. It’s not really painful, just uncomfortable enough to interfere with sleeping at night. Last week Dr. Sonfield used a long needle to remove the excess fluid from my chest wall but it has gradually come back.
So, tomorrow I go back to McLeod (Radiology Dept.) to have a surgical drain put back in. It will need to stay in place for a week or two, until the fluid buildup resolves. I’d appreciate prayer for a quick resolution to this situation.
