Update and I do mean Up

if i can. get my hand from stop shaking I will type this. I’m home from hospital and even slept in my own bed. After a 15 hour er wait, and a week in hospital , I’m still weak but as my dear radiation oncologist says “ ppl underestimate how much a hospital stay of 6-7 days takes out of you.” ! have oxygen but with a thorancentesis (lung tapped for fluid) i’m doing better. that was done in my room thank goodness.

Some of the nurses were great; some were not. Docs gave me lasix although i begged them not to. Dan sad they had to bc lungs wee crackling with fluid. I kept needing to use the potty and the nurses acted disgusted with me when sessions were half an hour apart. Not my fault. I was too weak to go by myself. I remained incontinent fr several days even the night i got home. lots of sheet changes.

But one nurse was great and i called her my new bff. the good news is i’m having home health (a nurse) & Pt come to my house beginning next week.

Kudos to all who brought food and flowers and didn’t stay. Or had kind words and cards-/prayers I can’t list them all bc of neuropathy. And thank you for taking care of Dan with food,

special thanks to busy daughter who coordinated calls and acted as a sentry. When you are very sickl you can be naked, going to potapotty or sleeping.. And you can wear me out from 5 min convo.

And happy that Dr Gharavi back.He’s so smart! and kind!!

More to say but wanted to say thank you to ALL who helped!! Bev with sheet changing: flossie with mysteries. Grands sent “read” slippers. judith with cane. got up by myself today and walked slowly down stairs. a first.. progress Love you all!
