Oh my you poor soul, before my Aortic valve replacement and bypass I was in hospital for 7 weeks while I was on a drip twice a day to get rid of my excess water. In total I lost 63 pounds remember waking up one morning put my hand to my neck and felt my collar bones hadn’t noticed they had disappeared! Can understand you saying you are living in the bathroom I was the same. Hopefully once they have got rid of this excess fluid you will feel better, my breathing became much better as the water was reduced.

Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes Pauline
