Where do I start? Jane had another ultrasound this morning so that they could mark where they would make the entry to drain the lung. She was then told they would start the drain between 2pm and 3 pm so I went in at 2pm. Like all hospital procedures the doctors didn't turn up until 4pm.

On their first attempt Jane fainted so they stopped the procedure and promised to come back in 30 minutes to try again. I tried to relax her by massaging her feet and it worked a little however when they tried again she fainted once more however this time they continued and completed the operation. Within the first 10 minutes they drained off nearly a litre of fluid. They then turned it off to give the lung a chance to recover. She's now in a lot of pain and unfortunately I had to leave her in this state.

She has text me to say they've given her <a title="Oramorph" href="http://www.medicines.org.uk/guides/oramorph/pain%20(severe)" target="_blank">oramorph</a> and so I hope she gets some rest once it kicks in. More tomorrow...
