draining the swamp

What was I thinking?  There aren't any tigers in Florida.  Here in Jacksonville they have crocodiles.  To get rid of the crocodiles you have to drain the swamp.  At about 4pm today after fasting almost 24 hours they put a tube in my chest (ouch!) to drain the hematoma that has been in a pocket above my liver since surgery.  The hope is that this is the site of infection.  Of course there can be rejection as well (or instead of) infection, so they did a liver biopsy as well.  Still leaves clot complication, but will treat that slowly with a 3-6 month course of coumadin.
