Health Update

For those of you who haven't heard, I had a sweet hospital stay last week. It started with some pain in my stomach on a Wednesday Evening. By 1 a.m. Thursday morning I started throwing up. I spent the entire day trying to eat with no success. By midnight on Thursday night I was feeling so weak and sick that I decided to go to the ER for fluids or something to ease the stomach pain. Come to find out, I had appendicitis. They gave me morphine which was awesome because I was able to sort of sleep the rest of the morning. At 8 a.m., I went in for surgery. I woke up at 11:00 and I was already feeling better. At 6:00 p.m. I checked out of the hospital. That night I started to get bad headaches , and my heart was beating really fast. Saturday was miserable and I spent most of the day sleeping and laying down. By Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. I started coughing up blood and stuff so we went back to the ER. When I got there, I found out I was at 72% oxygen which is well bellow the normal 98%. They put me on oxygen, and I was feeling a lot better in just a couple hours. They did some x-rays, and found out I had pneumonia. By Monday morning I was feeling great and off of the oxygen. The pneumonia was still about the same on Morning, so I had to stay another day. On Tuesday morning my X-ray looked good enough that they let me go home. Since then I have been feeling great. In the end I found out that the food is terrible, and I am glad I signed up for the good insurance. I would like to Thank Emily and Heidi for all of their advice and visits, and Henry and Renee for taking Cora so Katie could stay with me.
