Just got back from hospital

I went in Tuesday night and got out last night. I am back on oxygen because whatever upper respiratory infection my son brought home obviously affected my COPD that bad. It has nearly killed me this time. Trying to stay up now and then to catch up on some of my online things like here. Got me on prednisone which helps the breathing but of course is going to play more problems on my bones. oh well can't win. but I figured since I didn't win the lotto, I likely won't die. Even tho I been feeling like I might at times. Will try and get up now and then and catch up with all my posts soon as I can friends. thanks for your concern and caring.

I'm really sorry to hear this Bonnie - it must have been very serious if they kept you in all that time. I wondered where you were, I'm pleased to see you again, but don't tire yourself out.

All those emoticons placed in your post do say something of your positive attitude about the situation. I like that.

a very little bit from before the hospital. problem is that the meds help what I have now but has side effects for later. like bone loss, etc.

No need to feel the need to catch up on anything. Just take it easy, and take care of your health. The thing about Mylot is that it is addictive. Once you login, it is hard to call it a day until your body starts to protest.

That prednisone will help you, I also have COPD and an upper respiratory infection can be very dangerous for you. Sorry you were in the hospital again.

I hope you will fully recover from that , my friend . COPD is a very difficult ailment actually . Most of those who have it are smokers although some aren't smokers at all.

It is good thing that you recovered too fast. You just need to take tons of rest and mingle with your virtual friends in this site. That's what I do right now. Keep in touch!
