So are ya’ll totally bored with all my ramblings and postings today? I hope not. I am so, so happy that I feel like getting back into the groove of things.

My mother and I made a brief get away and went shopping in the hospital.

My new pink watch with    New pens that look like
bling.                                 syringes

A refreshing peppermint    A new purple light weight
foot spray                        cashmere scarf my mother
                                        bought me.

My final doctor came in a little while ago.  The plan is still the same, oral steroids and if there are no problems (and I do not expect any) then I get to go home tomorrow afternoon. 

All together, when I leave tomorrow I will have been here five and a half days.  About the same amount of time I spent in the hospital last time.  The difference this time is I feel so much better going home this time than I did last time.  I will be going home with a slight wheeze, but since I will be taking oral steroids at home the final bit of wheeze I have should be going away in just a few days. 

Except for the little hiccup when I first was admitted, the care here has been wonderful.  The hospitalist I had has done a terrific job keeping my blood sugar under control.  The doctors  and Physician’s Assistants from Georgia Lung Associates have rocked!  The respiratory therapists have done an awesome job keeping me breathing and even when they had to take blood for a blood gas reading they did a good job. 

Have a good evening, Neighbors!
