I had the operation. I could feel my rib cages or something moving for a long time. I still have to watch how much I lift.
Thank you for writing. I am so glad you healed from your surgery! My dads is so spread apart you can put your hand on his chest and feel the cavity. There is a possiblity that enough scar tissue will grow to fill it in a bit. That could take a long, long, time ... but with all these wonderful prayers I am very hopeful.
Thanks again!
How beautiful. My deepest gratitude.
My heart goes out to your father. I have never heard of this happening. Do they give him any hope of the condition clearing itself up over time? I am surprised they sent him home with all of that extra fluid to begin with. My prayers will be with him that God will intervene in his life and heal this pain.
Yes, releasing him with all that fluid was a bad move. Prior to the onset of the fluid he had breezed through the surgery.
They give him hope in that they say it is possible for enough scar tissue to grow to fill in the cavity. Of course, that is very "hopeful" and could take many years but with all of these wonderful prayers it is possible.

I recently asked for prayers for my father and I just wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful support and prayers. I can't offer much in the way of an update as his condition is one that seems not easily resolved. We are afraid to have him go through the surgery and the surgeon doesn't seem to want him too. It is wonderful to know there are so many caring people here on FR and when I put up that request and had your prayers it gave me immeasurable comfort. I so believe in the power of prayer and just handing some of the burden over to have others offer up their prayers felt wonderful. God bless all of you and thank you.
You are very nice and thank you. Eve and me are still praying.
