Discouring Mothers Day

[Guest guest]

Hey Leanne, i almost dont want to write this cause i know as fast as

my moods change i can be feeling much better before im done typing .

It all started

For me i went to the er. in a taxi, because i just could

not get a breath and i would cough and cough and cough. I did the

usual take some prednisone maybe 10 mg. and drink some warm tea or

coffee. Even was using throat spray had sore throat , no fever but

still went in for help because i was not getting any relief at home.

Spent 1st day in with telementry on my heart. They thought maybe i

had congestive heart failure . So was given lasix. Thank fully they

let me get up to p/ Now im on Antibiotics. Doxycycline. 100 mg. and

40 prednisone and i really had to fight to keep it below 60mg. they

DR?s wanted to give me.more.

After 2 days they moved me off the telementry said i could maybe

go home soon. Put me on regular med floor. Now i have a room all to

myself. Yes. But am so week i need pottie chair next to bed as cough

when i move. # 3rd day feeling better want to go home. But found out

my Apt. Building has been evacuted for 2 days after a 3alarm fire. So

they keep me one more day until i have an apartment i can go homne

to. Got home Tues. And i have been working like crazy getting

orgainized on the computer logging all my blood sugar readings. every

day; evey meal. Even logging my blood pressure and pulse. and body

temp.

Since i take pain medication for pain i worry that i forget things

now i have a better back up system. Should have done this along time

ago but better late than never. I am feeling discoured. today i over

slept. didnt wake up till 11:30 instead of usual 7 am. still feeling

rather week. Un motivated depressed crying alot alot alot.. on

steriods oh my ;;; there has to be a better way. I have eaten

everthing

i can possible eat an then some. Oh yes i lost another 20 pounds

while in hospital i was weighed in the bed. kewl i dont have scales

at home. i weigh 211 pounds. was 234 and was 268 before that.last

year. Any who.. i still am wondering if i should see another dr for a

new oppion or fresh thoughts. Still planning on trying to move LOL

not funny cant make the bed dont know how i can move my self. makes

me so sad. I just dont want to do any thing. and no money or help

to do it. But dont want to die alone in this dam apartment either.

suit i have dr app. for tues. but am running a fever now while still

on prednizone and antibiotics. was normal in hosp. then 91.1
