I am home

Melody, sorry I didn't get you called back yesterday. The Relief Soc. Pres. got home yesterday and everything seemed to happen at once here. I am feeling better. Better to be up and around and in my own home a least. One more day on Pill Hill and I would have been so depressed. the pnemonia is still with me and so I am taking it real easy. I will be going to the Dr. today but will get you called before the end of the day Promise. Barbara

I am so glad you made it home. Thanks for your input on my earlier post. I'm trying to deal positivly about things. I will be making an update post about it later. In the meantime, take care of yourself and get some R&R. Tammy

Good! Being the new kid on the block, I was bugging Melody about your state of health. When you say the pnemonia is still with you, does that mean you are still taking all the medicine and on the mend? Enquiring minds need to know these things. Linda In Texas

This is a question that I probably needed answered. My lungs are full. (NO AIR) but when I drink (I am on clear liquids) I seem to inhale the water or liquid. I have had very little today. Ice ships, apple juice chips and about 1/4 C Soup. All that I burped on for ever. I am actually kind of afraid to eat. I know that when I burp this stuff it is in my air ways because it is so full in there. What do I do? I am not hungry but I will get deydrated soon. Any one out there know anything aabout this?

You know dear I would call you Dr. and ask them. You will get dehydrated very soon. I was in 3 or 4 times after my surgery because I got dehydrated and I wasn't sick like you. Take Care!!! Glad to hear you are home. And hopefully on the mend very very soon. Gala

Where's a Nurse when you need one? Oh Ok, their on my Over 50's board. I'm pretty sure theres more than one RN in that group. Perhaps there is a forum regarding after surgery issues, one would hope. Please do get better though! Linda In Texas
