Ed – Again

We decided to get away for the weekend and went to a Residence Inn in Manchester (walking distance to the mall) on Friday afternoon. All was ok until 10:00 pm when Ed was having back pain and trouble breathing. We went to the ER at Bristol Hospital where they thought he may have had a blood clot in his lung. After many tests, he was diagnosed with pleurisy. It is a viral infection of the lining of the lung and the only treatment is with pain meds. I’ve heard of pleurisy, but always thought is was something only someone over the age of 100 gets!!! That’s our Ed. He is doing much better and able to get his rest. He will call his primary care doctor on Monday for a follow up. Oh yes…. his scar is looking great.
