I've been in the hospital for the past week trying to survive pneumonia. Feeling much better, but still over tired and on oxygen for now. Everyone took really good care of me, but it's weird to see the doctors and nurses all half my age!!

Hope you are doing better sunshine, did you get vaccinated for pneumonia before this happened? WKD and I got both our flu and RSV shots last Saturday.

No, I hadn't we were still waiting on the doctor's office to get the 'old people' version of the flu shot in and they still haven't. We were going to do it all at once. Guess that was a mistake!! I evidently was already sick for a couple of weeks as I had been wheezing. I thought it was just my allergies. I had gotten up in the night to go to the bathroom, passes out and pulled some stuff on top of me. mr sunshine couldn't get me up and I was out of it. He called the paramedics and the took me by ambulance to the hospital. I was totally out in the ER for one day, and another in ICU. Finally woke up and stayed in ICU for two more days and spent the last day in a regular room. I was on oxygen the entire time with breathing treatments in between. The steriods that they were giving me made my BS go out of sight, so they kept poking me and giving me insulin. Now my doc is changing my meds because it's still high because of continuing some steriods. I really hate changing meds, but hope it will help. She wants me to do a sleep apnea test next and do some rehab to get my strength back. Wish me luck!!
