In the hospital..

So yesterday I woke up and my breathing had become more labored and lots of strain for a breath. Went to my doc who told me they couldnt get me in to be seen even after I told them my O2's were in the low 80's... I went to the walk in urgent care by the house. my o2's were in the 70's.. they put me on oxygen, and did a breathing treatment..My o2's went to 92. I had to use the potty and they let me off the oxygen.. by the time I got back to the room they were back in the 80's... They called an ambulance and had me taken to the hospital.. I am getting 280 MG (total per day) of prednisone by injection... 8 breathing treaments a day that also have steroids.. due to fam history I have had the full cardiac enzymes and an echocardiogram done.. they decided no stress test because with my asthma out of control it could kill me LOL Doc came in a little while ago and said get comfy I'm not going anywhere ... until they can take me off the the iv prednisone I have to stay.. I actually feel better.. I dont sound like Rice Krispies when I breath.. LOL but my lungs are still pretty tight.. So sparky met me at the hospital, I had to go by ambulance and Sparky called my doctors and chewed them a new one LOL .. Well I wll update more as I find out.. Thanks all Debby whocan'tbreathbecauseofthefires....

I know I know. The problem is she likes to gamble way too much and I can't drag her away! I left her tonight and she was doin better. Hopefully she'll be home tommorrow! Sparky

Hey I gambled when I married you. .and look how thats turned out...

Would ya quit sniviling and come home already? I had to make my own dinner tonight and it was really gross! Poor Jazzy don't know what to do with herself! I caught all three kittins and have them in the spare bedroom in a Plastic tote with holes in it so they can breath. They are really pissed off! I got some water in there for them and was attacked by one of them. Ungratefull little turd! I guess we need to keep them untill Monday. They're cute though so they should find a home quickly. Jazzy is just fussin at the door to the room. She's pretty sure I caught them for her. I'll call ya in the morinin before I go fishin. Love ya Stinky! Sparky

awww...true love.

Hey, you keep your chin up. I don't post often, anymore, because my heart attack is kicking my ass. But you HAVE to be the one to do better. You have your darling husband and those young men depending on you to be there when they come home. If you have to stay on oxygen throughout the summer, you do it. If they require a stress test, ask for the chemical one. It sux, but it's better than dying on the treadmill. You will have to come through this because of all you have been through already. I'm pretty much stopped in my tracks because I am bad enough I cannot do any exercising for more than 10 minutes a day; total. I walk to and from the rest rooms at work that much. Not to scare anyone, but partly this surgery, partly heredity, and mainly stress caused the heart attack and babying me is the minimum that I have right now. Cardiologist, pcp, family, employees, and boss are worried I won't wake up and they're ready with multiple sets of directives. Now, do you feel the need to fight this???? You have too many depending on you; none the least, yourself.

hi beautiful.... i was getting worried again...so thank you for peeking in......do tell us what is going on with your body these days....i am curious and nosey.....and so sorry you are having to go through all of this...... i love ya honey!!! annie

I will ask him about the chemical stress test. I know they wont do it at this hospital today. I'm sorry your improvement is going slowly... you keep fighting too.. you cAn turn it around.. I watched my dad do it and I know you can too.. so keep fighting!! Take care.. Debby
