Hi Group:

I want to thank all of you again for all of the e-mail messages and cards

while I was in the hospital and the ones that I've received since I have

been home. The hospital has been wonderful in forwarding all of the cards

that arrived after my discharge.

The pneumonia is pretty much gone, from what my doc says after reading the

latest chest x-ray. The bronchitis is still giving me pretty much a real

fit, so she's still got me doing 4 breathing treatments a day, using an

inhaler and also a steroid inhaler on top of all of that. I'm off of the

antibiotics (thank God) and the tablet form of Prednisone, so my stomach is

beginning to behave a little better. I didn't have as much trouble with the

Phenergan as I thought that I would. The last time I had to take Phenergan,

it caused a terrible problem with the RLS. I guess the biggest problem I'm

having now is sleeping, as the meds that I'm still on tend to make a person

a bit hyper. My usual nightly dosages of Vicodin and Xanax (yes, I'm back on

the Xanax, the Valium was making me hyper again) do no even phase me, except

for controlling the RLS. I don't get the least bit sleepy. My doc has

written me a prescription for Klonopin to help me to sleep and it isn't even

helping. I guess the inactivity has just done a number on me, as my body is

used to going and going, kind of like the Energizer Bunny, and all of this

laying around, resting, is helping me to get better, but is doing nothing

for wearing me out so that I can sleep. As I write this message, I have been

up for almost 65 hours with no sleep other than a 2 hour nap yesterday.

Hopefully, I will wear down and get some sleep, as I am getting seriously

bored with TV, the computer and everything else around this house, including

the house, LOL.

I'm hoping that I can talk my doctor into letting me go back to work on

Monday, but my next appt. with her isn't until Feb. 18, next Thursday, so

I'll have to do some big talking with her between now and Friday. I'll just

keep behaving and resting and hopefully, she'll let me go back to work. I'm

about to go crazy at this point in time. I'm feeling good enough to do a few

little things around the house and not stay in bed, but still too weak to do

too much.

Well, I'm going to try and take a nap, again. I'll keep in touch and if you

feel like writing, I'm here....

Restful Nights,

Jodi
