Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Got a little cold earlier this week. Congested, tight breathing. Got
out the nebulizer and the Albuterol on Tuesday - haven't needed either
of them in months. Nebulizer quit working on Thur. Drugstore doesn't
carry them. Call pulmonologist office - assistant useless. Got on
line, ordered one over the net, it will arrive maybe Tueday.
Thought I could handle it, but lunchtime Sunday told dh "Sunday 1 p.m.,
most people will be watching sports on tv, maybe I could get quick
breathing treatment in the ER." went there, not too busy, got a
breathing treatment, said thank you very much, bye, and they told me Oh
No, we have more tests to do. taken further back, x-rays, IV etc.

Soooooooo. Here I am on the 7th floor of the hospital, with
antibiotics, steroids and I'm not sure what the other one is going in
IV, plus they have given me so much inhaled treatment I am totally dizzy
and cannot stand unaided.

Got dh to go home and bring me some toiletries, change of undies,
another book, and,OF COURSE, the laptop.

Hope to go home in the morning.

Sorry to hear of the breathing trouble, I'm asthmatic but after new
drugs (Seretide & Spiriva) from the specialist last year I have not had
any problems. Glad to hear you are getting the full treatment.

Feel better soon.

There is probably just some normal kind of IV solution hung with the drugs -
saline, D5W, etc. Don't stand - relax, and get help when you need to go to
the little room.

So sorry to hear you've not been well. Hope this makes you feel ever so
much better. Relax as best you can, and be pampered - at least on the
hospital scale.
