I'm Back Home - Missed you all

[Guest guest]

Hi friends, I've missed you.

I got home from the hospital last night and have been reading posts this

morning.

It is nice to be missed. Thank you Jeanne, Debbie J, Debra V., and Lori. If

I had known I would be gone this long I would have had one of my kids log on and

tell you where I was. I didn't mean to worry anyone, but thanks again for

noticing. It makes me feel warm inside.

I won't be on long today. I'm still not well. I went to the hospital for my

pneumonia. I really tried to stay out, but couldn't do it. I think being here

alone I wasn't able to stay hydrated enough, though I tried, or have the food I

needed. I got to the point of breathing very poorly and was so limp that I

became malnourished. My son is furious at me for not calling him to come down

from Boston - as he said " to hell with the job, you're sick. " Actually I

probably would have if I wasn't too sick to think of it. A friend of mine came

over to tell me about her new grandbaby, and found me kind of slumped over in my

chair and called 911. My vitals were all way down and in the hospital they

pumped me full of all the stuff I needed. My doctor came to the hospital and

made my insurance let me stay for longer than usual, because he was afraid it

would happen again. I'm over the pneumonia, they believe, and now I just have

to get my strength back, which is hard because

I'm so tired and hurt all over and still don't want to eat, but I will.

I was supposed to start my treatments for the bone cancer this week, but I

have to wait for about 2 weeks now because of all of this. My son is coming

back from Boston when I start so he will be hear with me to see what kind of

effect it has on me. I'm really scared about that. I did this twice before for

Leukemia, but the bone stuff is worse.

I'm nervous posting to the site today after reading what has been going on

with RAB is it? What a despicable thing to do. I'm really sorry he said that

to you Lilbit. From your posts you sound like you are getting better and I am

very glad. I'm not on top of the world emotionally either so I'm a little

cautious sharing here right now. I think for now I'll stick to the medical

stuff.

I've really missed all of you. I wish I could have talked to you while I was

in the hospital. I was lonely for my great group of friends - family. I'm

sorry I can't reply to all the posts I want to, but already I'm very tired and

need to get something to drink. Being a good girl for once.

.All of you take care of yourselves. I will try to read some more posts and

get back on as soon as possible.
