home from hospital-had pneumonia

I'm home from the hospital. I had pneumonia and a bad case of it. This past week I've lost 5 lbs and I'm a little bit over a year out from surgery. I was pretty run down to begin with since they keep pushing me to try foods and I still have episodes of throwing up. I work a very stressful job and it makes it difficult with many foods besides the fact that I have damaged stomach nerves from diabetes. I'm trying to build my system back up so I can feel healthy again. I actually had an insensitive boss say that "I was doing better fat than thin". How stupid. Sometimes people's ignorance amazes me. Actually I'm doing so much better and I probably would have had a heart attack to boot if this had happened a year ago. Stephanie

hi stephanie. i'm glad to hear you're feeling better. sorry you're going through a tough patch right now. sounds as though you may need a new workplace, boss, or both. again, glad you're feeling better. take care of yourself. dorthe

I wi**** was that easy replacing the employer, but I work for the Social Security Admin, the federal government. In August I'll have 20 years in. I'm just hoping ignorance doesn't breed ignorance and I'll be taking care of myself first. Thanks for your thoughts Stephanie

Stephanie, sorry to hear about the pneumonia, I had walking pneumonia and bronchitis a while back and boy does it knock you down. Take care of yourself lady. As for the boss, I have a great boss but my mother is always saying the same thing when I get sick....she really ticks me off when she says that. I always have allergy problems this time of year that turns into bronchitis, I don't know where she's been all my life . Take things slowly and get your strength up. Dana
