NaBloPomo or whatever is called, is kind of a pain...

So today's post will be hospitals. Hospitals are an important part of civilization, and since my mom has worked in them since before I was born, they've always kind of been part of my life. Now Kell works at one, so I get hospital talk from both my mom and Kell nearly daily, but I prided myself on the fact that I never had to be admitted since I was born...well, until yesterday afternoon. My Doctor decided I needed to get admitted because I've been having a hard time breathing, and I was already maxed out on the asthma meds. I'm fine, I just spent the night here and sent Kelli off to see James Bond. I'm on IV cort-steroids and antibiotics, with a little saline thrown in for good measure to get my lungs over this hump, and healthy again. I should be discharged tomorrow, and the post tomorrow won't be so self-centered, I swear. Also, huge shout out to Kelli for being such a great friend. And Ben H too. Thanks a ton guys!

I enjoy self-centred blogs! But I'd like you to get better, please.

Think of it as a hotel with stinky smells. We wish you happy lung repair.

Unknown said...

You have had that asthma problem for a long time! Can they do anything about it for you?

Joy said...

Sara-I'll oblige.

Brenda-Thanks.

SJ-Yeah, I was first diagnosed when I was 11 or 12. Kell said lung transplant.

Putz said...

oh my gosh, A LUNG TRANSPLANT???????

Brenda said...

If I croak before you, you are welcome to mine. I don't smoke and I jog a lot. I think you'd like them.

Joy said...

Brenda, you're awesome. You even trumped Kell there. She's out getting me pizza, you offer me your lungs when you expire. You K's are an awesome bunch.

Putz-I think I'll stick to my pair.
