OT: health report

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

Just dropping in to report that I have come home from

the hospital once again. This time I have lost 26

pounds of fluids in the last four days.

I went in because I couldn't lay down and sitting up

breathing was more than a struggle.

Long story short I am now on oxygen 24/7/365. Also on

diuretics to get this fluid off...Yeah!!!

Update on the procedure I was to have in the beginning

is the doctor has left the hospital and I don't know

the end of that yet.

Doctors concur I need to divorce my husband so I am

entitled to get Medicaid to pay for a host of health

issues. Envolves a trust that causes me to not

qualify.

My step-son and his wife came in to see some of her

family and surprised me with a visit. Well, not just

me but the family.

I am able to breathe a little deeper now that some of

the fluids are off. I can also lay down in bed and

sleep but still need to use meds to breathe without

plugging up.

So, while I have been checking in and looking at some

of the emails I have been out of the loop quite a bit.

Happy Birthday to those who have had them :-) Just

think another year older...:-} Remember when that

used to be a badge of honor to wear??? Now it's a

statement of strength of endurance.

Take care and I'll be popping in and out from time to

time depending on what all is going on.

Virginia
