tests your kidneys are doing fine your liver's doing fine your markers of infection are obviously up and keeping with this infection in your leg your chest x-ray looks like there's lots of fluid in the wrong places which can happen when you've got a nasty infection the blood vessels can become leaky and can leak fluid into your chest on top of the collection of fluid that you've got on both sides you've got swelling in the lung because of fluid in the lung and that makes is making your breathing worse and makes you need this oxygen your blood pressure's pretty good a 152 over 77 so you could have some medicine to get that fluid off some furosemide have you had anything like that before I do get a little bit a you have furosemide at home yeah fine so I'll get you an intravenous shot

yeah long time long time might get the machine and and pop it next to you and we can have a quick look at your heart together if that's alright that'll help us look at what's going on how much of that fluid in the chest is related to the heart and how much is related to infection and get a bit of an idea about how your heart's working alright cool drugs I'll come back with that thing in minute
