Swimming with Plural effusion??

[barbara1168]

Has anyone out there been swimming while they had a plural effusion drain in them? Would be interested in any suggestions for keeping it dry.

thanks

Geesh...I suspect the answer to that is not go swimming. Ask the doc for sure though. Keeping it dry is virtually impossible, even when showering. Kudos for wanting to get out and exercise though, maybe you can find something else.
