Scan results etc...

My doctor called and the news is GOOD!!

The scan showed that the Pneumonia is finally gone!!! He said I will remain weak for probably at least another couple weeks because I was so sick for so long. I am to do things as I can tolerate and nothing more. Yeah like that is the way it is around here...NOT!!

My blood work all came back great as well....he said everything was as it should be...woohoo!!

As for that spot in my lung it is nothing to be worried about. It is more of the same type of tissue that has been in my lung for many years. Kind of like scar tissue...actually it is called plural thickening... thus my COPD. I am still having pain in that lung. He said that will quit hurting when I am feeling stronger again. It is just inflamed now. He said my lungs have taken quite a beating!! I agreed as I remember it all very well!!

I am so relieved, you have no idea!! Answered prayers...Praise GOD!!

Thank you all for all the prayers, good thoughts, swinging chickens and good wishes. I wouldn't have gotten through all this without your help and constant friendship. I love you all so much and am so honored to be your friend!

Slow and steady will win this race. I will get completely back to my OLD self soon. I am just sure of it!!!!

Other good news!!!  My daughter Carrie is coming up from Bloomington/Minneapolis to spend the day with me on Friday!! I am so excited. We plan on sneaking away for a while by ourselves. If we stay here my sister controls every conversation. We will probably just go to Caribou and then out to lunch. We will come back here for a little while before she has to go home. She is so happy about coming here and I am so happy she will be here!! We will discuss my move to that area for sure!

Thank you, much love, and many hugs...you are the greatest....connie d

Let me be the first to congratulate you...your relief and joy at your good news radiates  through your post!  Way to go!  Now after that visit with your daughter this Friday to celebrate your good news, hope you don't crash from doing too much, you still have to get completely better and then move out of your sister's!!!! Good Luck! Obviously today was a better day than yesterday for you...onwards and upwards!

Jennifer

Thank you Jennifer!!

I am so happy. I know better then to get back into things too quickly. My sister is so needed it has makes it very hard not to do more then I should.

I had a great night's sleep from 7:00 PM until 2:30 AM. I am going to sleep the next couple days as my body wants to. If I try to stay awake all day so I sleep at night that isn't working for me. Last night was a good night's sleep. I felt so exhausted I even skipped NCIS and I never do that!!!

Thanks for the very sweet reply!

Love and hugs...connie d

Connie, I am so glad you had wonderful news!!  I know that you and your daughter will have a blast on Friday.  Have fun but don't overdo it as those lungs really need some healing time.

Blessings,

Mikka

Hello Mikka....and thank you!!

My daughter will not let me overdo...I can promise that! I plan on resting every bit as much as I can until she gets here. We will have fun but nothing more then hanging out.

Hugs and love....connie d

Good news indeed Connie. A word of caution: the doctor said to do things as you can tolerate. Being such a strong independent woman you tolerate waaaay too much, so quit sooner.

Love ya'

Annette

Sweet Annette....you know me so well....I will do my best to not overdo.

I am a very independent woman and like things done correctly. I think my sister takes advantage of that way too much!! If all I had to do was my own things life would be so much easier. She leaves everything for the last minute and then runs out of time so I have to help. She knows I am a doer!! I won't live in a smelly mess!

Thank you so much!!!! I will be cautious as I do not want a relapse!!

How are you doing...I am still sending up prayers for you my dear!

Love you much...HUGS....conne d

Oh, hurray, sweetie!  Answered prayer!  I know you are impatient to feel better, but take a lesson from our sweet Trish and just take one baby step at a time.  It worked out for her, and it will work out for you, too.  Now, don't overdo and have a relapse, okay?  Love you!

Vickie....answered prayers indeed!!

Yes, I am impatient to feel good. It has been almost 2 months now! I know I need to take it slow. If I would be living alone I know I would have been feeling better long ago. I feel my kindness has been very taken advantage of around here. I was the one always getting things done even as sick as I was. My sister has zero ambition and likes to just sit and do nothing. It is my family and friends that help out. Only a few are allowed here and they are the helpful ones. If rolls were reversed I would be the embarrassed one!!

Thank you for all your kindness and caring. I hope you are feeling better soon. I am sorry you are so sick!!! Prayers on the way.

Love you much...hugs....connie d

Oh Connie, it has made my day hearing such great news. I'm so happy for you!

Love Debbie
