Some Day The Silver Cord Will Break...But Not Today😊
It's been an ordeal
I now, know, how close it's from life to death
Besides, the pneumonia in my left lung, I developed sepsis,and went into (something) ketitoses (you nurses can fill in the first blank.
I was told that anyone of those conditions on their own could have taken my life.
The pain at times was unreal.
It was hard to rest.
Once,I got to Midland Hospital, I was tested for blood sugar levels very frequently,and had labs drawn more times then I'd thought possible.
I had chest X-ray daily, a drawing tube inserted,which was painful.
The first 24 hours the machine that collected the junk, in my lung, filled up and they had to replace it.
After another poke in the back, 24 hours it filled up again.
I had one more poke in the back and at lot less output.
So, a day before discharged, I was finally free of the tube.
I had to get one more lab draw and an chest X-ray before I could leave.
They been pumping me full of antibiotics,so after realizing I was being discharged had to wait 5 hours until I could be back home.
Still somewhat, poorly, might not answer messages or postings ,so
If I don't get back right away, don't take offense,my body needs rest to further heal.
With all that being said ,It's great to be alive and I'm grateful.
The care team at Midland (MI)was phenomenal.
The genuine relief and wide grins of my pulmonary doctors ,I'll take with me.
There are good caring people in this world...God must of called most of them to healthcare.♥
