I don't know how many of you know, but I've been sick since October. Bronchitis, and pneumonia mostly, but pleurisy and emphysema have been discussed. I've had many blood tests, several x-rays of my lungs, been on 4 rounds of different antibiotics, and am now on corticosteroids, albuterol, and singulair to help me breathe.
I have to call my doctor in a week if I'm still not better, and if I'm not, we start the next step - which he didn't tell me what it was - he just looked at me. I'm assuming it's either being admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics, or oxygen treatment, or other lung stuffz, or all of the above.
I've been so sick lately, it's taken all my energy to sit here more than a few minutes at at time. My breaths are about 1/10th of what they normally are. It takes a lot out of me to type and stuff, believe it or not. I'm sorry if I've ignored anyone, or forgotten to reply to anyone, and that's why I'm writing this.
I'm gonna visit my son this weekend, and be back some time Tuesday, then I've got a ton of crap to do around here to prepare this week for my move - yes, I'm moving. Not getting into details, but it's just more stuff I've been dealing with that no one really knows. I don't know if I'll be on here regularly for quite some time - and this isn't me "taking a break" or "deleting for attention" or anything that anyone else wants to think or say, it's just fact, and I'm letting my friends know it. Period.
Those of you that cared enough to come in here and see how I'm doing, thank you, it won't be forgotten. I'm gonna be up and down the stairs a while tonight, so forgive me if I don't respond right away.
*slurpz everyone's heart*
[EDIT: I need to post a picture of my prescriptions, because now it's going around that I'm making all this up, for attention and sympathy. Some people are REALLY fucked up. Really.]
Here's my prescriptions, for those that don't believe what I've said.
