Going in....

Urgh.

This is so frustrating. I had a super bad cold about 1 1/2 months ago. They tried oral abx (which I'm resistant to) and I seemed to get some relief. I felt I was on the upswing. Then, when I was supposed to do my follow up appt. last week to see how the orals worked (if at all), the doc cancelled and rescheduled me for next monday.

Well needless to say, I've now gotten another cold and can feel this one settling in my lungs too. I'm really frustrated about just getting over a cold/lung crap and within a week getting another cold. This has never happened to me before.<img src="i/expressions/coughing.gif" border="0">

I know a lot of it is stress related. My DH deployed for at least 6 months a month ago (when I had the first really bad cold). I feel really alone. I have friends here who offer to help, but then I'd feel like I have to clean my house and get all ready to look "good" for visitors and I just don't have the strength (i know its crazy talk, but i feel that way and will always feel that way).

My parents are coming to stay with me since I'm probably getting admitted Monday. My mom will try to stay the whole time, but dad has to work. It shouldn't be too bad, but with my husband gone and now needing IV meds for the second time in a year, I feel really overwhelmed.

I know so many more have it far worse on these boards and are far sicker and my thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with you all. I just see the abx happening more and more frequently for me and even when I think I'm making progress with exercising and doing my treatments, something like this comes up and knocks me down.

We're supposed to do travelling when DH gets back in April or May and now, with all these setbacks, I wonder if I will ever feel well enough to travel or ever be able to travel without it zapping everything I have and making me sick and end up on I.V.s again.

Urgh....

I just wish I had my hubby here..... <img src="i/expressions/brokenheart.gif" border="0">

Thanks for letting me vent. I'll let you know when I'm back home on home health (they usually let me go within a day or two). I expect to be admitted after the weekend since that is when my parents can be here.

Hope the rest of ya'll in lockup are doing alright!

I'm sorry you are going in, and that you are so sad. I'm sure your hubby's deployment has a lot to do with it. Don't ever feel like you shouldn't vent, because there are others who are worse off. This is YOUR worse, and it's just as traumatic to you.

I'm glad your mom is going to stay with you. I really hope you can kick this cold, and feel better soon. Take all of the frustration you are feeling, and try to focus it on improving your health in anticipation of those travels you want to do. I know it's easier said than done. I'll be thinking of you, and sending all of the positive vibes I can.

I'm so sorry you have to go in and that you're struggling emotionally right now with your husband's deployment, not feeling up to par for awhile now, the what ifs healthwise....

Hopefully they'll get the right mix of meds and knock this crud down once and for all. I'm so glad your parents are able to come to help offer some support.
