Re: to Ebony

[Guest guest]

Hi and thanks .

Yes I have been. This is the second time, from the second of feb.

to the 9th. So really just got discharged. I am recovering, thank

you. It still hurts to take a deep breath or to laugh, cough, yawn,

etc. but it is still early yet. I hope to make a full recovery

soon. A new dx and new meds. I keep having problems breathing and

problems with the right heart. A liter of fluid was taken off one

of the lungs this time. A small amount before. I think all is RA

medication induced and so does the pulmonologist. Nonetheless, i am

hanging in there at the moment and taking it easy.

Thanks for all the prayers. I feel prayers have helped me.

My prayers to you and everyone suffering here in return.

Blessings,

Ebony
