Yes, folks, on December 30 I checked myself into the lovely Hotel and Resort known as Fremont Hospital. I enjoyed a lovely 4 day stay complete with all the frivolities a hospital offers. I got an IV and it only took four, yes, FOUR tries to get the IV in me! I got to experience an "IV blowing," boy, the arm swell from that was worth every penny! I even got poked and prodded with needles and received breathing treatments around the clock! Only the best amenities for me, I tell ya!
After spending New Year's Eve there, I decided that wasn't enough of a break so I temporarily affixed my buttocks to my lovely couch and hired the best nurse in the whole wide world! (See below)
He's such a happy nurse! And, I never wanted or needed for anything while recuperating at home thanks to him!
All kidding aside, for those of you who didn't already know, my asthma got so bad that my Dr. admitted me to the hospital. I was there for four days and the recovery at home has been slower than I anticipated; but, now things are moving along nicely, I think...and hope! And, my hospital stay wasn't as bad as I made it sound. The nurses and respiratory therapists there were lovely, helpful and very, very nice. Except, one time they forgot to give me one of my medicines...someone almost died; but, HELLO, this is Patient Missy G. we're talking about, what's a human life for my comfort? JUST KIDDING!I'm doing breathing treatments at home; but, the Dr. and I are taking strides to get me off the breathing treatments and solely on an inhaler. Once I am solely on an inhaler, I should be able to go back to work! You know, I think some people always think it would be nice to have a long time off of work; but, I find myself sitting at home on Sunday nights envious of those who are getting ready for work the next day! I'm looking forward to having all of my energy back and, oh yea, being able to breath effortlessly, that would be cool! :)
Thank you every one for all of the well wishes, cards, phone calls and visits. They have helped keep my spirits up tremendously!
This has also helped to make my couch time more enjoyable:
My in-laws got us a TV for Christmas! Dave is still on cloud nine! We are now in the world of HD folks and me like! Especially with all of the football that's on now!
We can watch games with out having to squint our eyes to see the score! Whoo-hoo!
I still have funny stories that I want to share from Christmas and I will get around to it...maybe a Christmas posting for Valentines Day!
Thanks again everyone!
Glad to hear that you're doing much better now! That sucks to have had to spend New Years in the hospital though, not the greatest start to a year. Here's hoping that you recover completely as soon as possible. <3
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear that you are home! When you are feeling all better, you should have a make up NYE party lol. I'm sure the gang would be up for that. :p. It sucks that you got so sick, but I'm glad Dave took such good care of you! Have lots of chicken noodle soup (just don't forget to add water...) and I hope you are back on your feet soon!
ReplyDeleteUmmm.... really... did you have to post a picture of Brett Farve? I swear I might put you back in the hospital if your not careful.
ReplyDeletePlease just be well before March 2nd.. I would hate to take my brother to Bon Jovi.
