Went to the E.R. because I was short of breath and coughed all night. Had made a few calls before to get thoracentsis done but they scheduled me a week out and than bumped it up to Friday. Waited in E.R. 4 1/2 hours to get one done. Than, was told they messed up in the communication because I was suppose to be schedule in that day. So 7 hours later I am home feeling so much better. Guess, next time I should try taking the ambulance and see how fast that works!! I even wore my green shoes and wild socks but nurse said they weren't wild enough!!! Have a great day. hugs, Sandy
