more bumps in the road
I have not been on this site since Christmas. Over the holiday I was sick with cold/flu. That Tues. I went to ER and they put me into ICU. I went down hll very quickly. Pneumonia, dangerously low blood pressure. Lung fill with fluid requiring thoracentisis. Atrial fib for about 20 hours. The list goes on... I was in ICU 3 days and in hospital for 13. I got so weak I can no longer stand/walk or do anything independently. I'm in rehab now trying to get stronger with therapy. I'v been here four days and so far haven't gained ground. I'm worried I won't get enough strength back to go home but trying to be hopeful. The pneumonia is much improved but I'm still on many drugs mainly for heart stuff. I'm so discouraged with all the set backs I've had lately. Of course I won't get chemo now until I get stronger either.
