Nan,

I'm so sorry you are in the hospital. Please let us know when you feel up to it what is going on and what the docs are doing about it.

Nan even if you feel isolated, please know that we are here rooting for you. You have a whole pack of folks here who care about you!

Hi All My dear friends,I started with some very tough breathing last week. Of course, once again, I'm thinking that I know it all and don't need to contact the doc. (big mistake!) By Weds. night when the kids got to me, I was really bad. My son insisted that I at least call the doc. I choose a trip to the big house to get checked out. It was somewhat late at that time. Chest x-rays and meds.... decision was made to keep me. Am I rambling here? Many meds and maybe a wee bit confused! hehe I miss everyone so much and am feeling a bit isolated in here. I did find out though the the hosp. is all WiFi access now. I think I might take some christmas savings and invest in maybe a small laptop. I think that would realieve some isolatation. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Definately feel like I', m rattling.I love you all this day my friends!!!Nan 50, MAList getting way too longwrite again soon.

Nan, so sorry to hear you are in the " Big House " . Take good care of you

so you can get out of there. Sometimes I wished that I had a laptop so

that I could take it everywhere I go BUT I wouldn't be able to carry it

with the Helios LOL! It was a good thought.

Get better soon.

last August I spent 4 days in the hosptal, I had fainting spells, the doctors coulndt figure out what was wrong with me. Finally they got to the conclusion that my PH is getting worse.

I was so lonely in that room, I missed my family more than ever.

here in USA my only family are my two little sons and my husband, the rest of my family is in Mexico. I have some good friends but they also have things to do, so I didnt get many visits.

Nan, So sorry you are in the big house. Hope you feel better soon. I just wanted

to suggest a Netbook computer. I got one for my birthday, it is great. Only 2

lbs, Great for hospital stays. I can lay in bed and move it anywhere I want.

Well if you want to chat, I'm here....

When I had my VATS biopsy I had my Ipod Touch with me. It was a god-send. I

had games and relaxers on it as well as access to my email. I get the " big

book " in my email and would read them all. It was really handy at night when I

would wake up and the nurses would be busy doing what they do and I could just

read/write emails instead of bothering them. I have an application called

'relax' that displays a roaring fire, an afternoon/night at the beach with the

waves lapping up on shore, or the winter wonderland vista with snowflakes

falling on a night of pristine white coated woods. I could call up the Koi Pond

to play with the fish too. I also get the New York Times and USA Today (and

something called Fluent News that is a collection of articles published from all

over daily) which are downloadable through WIFI. There are also the games,

Scrabble, Monopoly, Cribbage. . . I really liked it for emailing my family

while they were at work. I have a son in Iowa as well and it was easier than a

phone call. Really takes the edge off a stay at the big house (and less than

$500 including all of those applications through Itunes to boot). I like the

Ipod Touch because I use it while waiting at the doctor's office as well.

Having WIFI access is great, and I just plug it in when it needs charging. Not

all doctor's offices have WIFI, but if you load up before you leave home (a WIFI

area), you never notice it. Lots of options, a laptop works too.

Main thing is to get well soon!!

Hi Nan,

Sorry to hear you are down. It can sure come on fast, right? The feeling that it

will be better tomorrow, tonight or in one more hour gets us all at some time or

another. You sure aren't alone in thinking you " know it all " and can figure out

how to avoid the system one more day. Many, if not most, of us do that at one

time or another.

Hang in there and keep us posted on your progress.
