I just read through all my hospital/pneumonia posts starting on
May 27th when I was first admitted to the ER (I actually started complaining about being sick in
this post on May 24th) and I'm so glad I wrote as much as I did down, but still left so much out (like when I had the tube in my lung I couldn't make it to the bathroom and had to pee bedside lol). It's still feels like all of that didn't really happen to me because it was all such a blur. I had never spent any time in hospital before and honestly hospitals scared me but since it all happened and progressed so quickly I never had a chance to get scared about everything I was going through. Ten days in the hospital? No big deal. Having blood drawn 3 times a day? I have the track marks to prove it. A CT scan? Sure why not. Poking a hole in your back to insert a tube into your lung to drain liquid? Go ahead. Inserting a catheter line through my arm into my main artery? Insert away! It was like facing a fear without knowing I was about to face it, but I suppose that is how people with way worse health issues get through them, no matter scary things may be.
Now that I am home, I am back to my quasi-outfit/feels like pajama gig. When you sleep half the day away you have to be prepared to wear outfits that you can easily crawl up in a ball and take a nap in. I am feeling so much better but I am quickly reminded how hard my body is working to fight this infection when I: Wake up 9:30, only because the phone rang. Watch
Regis and Kelly (wow did anyone else see how horrible Christina
Aguilera looked? I mean a Tiara on a 29 year old women? Come on! Have Jen over for some coffee and help her put together some favors for her sister's bridal shower. Eat lunch that my sister made me at 12:00 and then pass out on the couch until 4:30 because that's all I had energy for. The days really aren't long enough for me. When I did wake up Casey administrated my catheter medicine and then my Mom and Sister took me on a walk around the neighborhood to exercise my lungs. We then all went out for a couple shrimp tacos a local Mexican restaurant, and even that was a struggle for me to get through.
Head bands, Leggings and Slouchy Tees and Tunics are my friends these days.
Above me is some of the decor Jen and I made for her sister's shower.
Yay for coffee with friends, craft time and having my sister in town for the weekend!

ReplyDeleteWow, Amber! I'm sorry you've had to go throu all of this.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for writing this particular post. It's comforting to hear that you never had time to really process all that you had to go through. I am coming to realize that the possibility of scary medical event in my lifetime is not just possible, but almost definate, no matter how careful I am. Your words are encouraging.
