HELLO ALL MY VIRTUAL FRIENDS!
I am writing you from the hospital laptop. Sadly it doesnt let me on chat yet. Last time I got it to work by adding Java, but it runs slow like with dial up so I lose my patience at times in trying.
Only a bit more to report then what Jeanne & Terri have said. I am waiting for another cat scan because the ones by me my doctors didnt get the actual films & the radiologist doesnt mention anything about the lobe that is causing the pain.
I did have another x ray yesterday which required Jeanne to leave early <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> where they had me lay on my left side instead of stand up. The doctors think I have fluid or a deflation (not an actual pneumothorax tho). IF these tests dont show anything hopefully a bronch will.
I inquired about TPN & my liver enzymes are still in the elevated range from when I was on Zosyn so they dont want to consider it right now. Not to mention that she doesnt want to add something else into the mix until we find an answer to my chest pain. It would complicate things etc. She is right, but its great to know she at least willing to consider it.
My appetite hasnt been too bad. I stuffed myself silly last night with hospital lasanga. I never got to eat the sandwhich Jeanne brought, but its my fridge calling my name. My sugars have been ok. They listened to me about not following the 1 unit for every 15 carbs on the insulin. That tends to make me crash. So things are about half of what they recommend & its working so far. I had a few low sugars, but no crashes & we didnt use insulin for the meals that would come following the lower sugars.
My treatments are painful. The manual clapping really aggrivates the left side where the pain is. They cant do it as aggressively & I breath thru it. The resident this morning talked about giving me morphine or something. I said no thanks. I can struggle thru unless it increases in severity. My body has enough crap running thru it.
I hope to have a thrillng thing to post about later. I am suppose to be getting a special visitor today. Jeanne, Joni & Terri know (not sure who else), but I wont say until it happens & I can post about it later. I also have Our Dear Graves coming to see me this weekend. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Jazmine seems to be holding up ok so far. Yesterday morning she called from her Dads cell phone on the way to school & woke me up saying GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE. Today is 1/2 day of school & she is going to my BFF house so she is in heaven because she gets to "babysit" HER baby hahahahah!
I think I am getting the hand of it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> ! So right now its the hurry up & wait game with tests etc. As usual I miss y'all, but Terri & Joni bug me enough that its like I never left <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
No major incidents since I am not on as frequently, OK! HUGS & LOVE to all of ya!
