False Alarm, but a bit of a scare this morning

I was woken up from sleep by pain in my left shoulder area. My husband, being the wonderful, caring, protective man that he is, remembered that the surgeon told us that pain in the left shoulder area is one possible symptoms of the stomach leak. :thumbup1:

 

Needless to say, my husband refused to take any chances and we went on the hour drive to the hopital to check things out. I must admit, I was a little bit nervous.

 

After spending the WHOLE day at the hospital, mostly just waiting. They did a CT Scan and determined that there was no leak, :scared0: but I had some condition in my lungs (mostly the left one) that, if not reversed, could turn into pneumonia. :thumbup:

 

Basically they told me to use the incentive spirometer (the lung ball game looking thing) more often.
