TURNED LOOSE FROM HOSPITAL CHRISTMAS EVE..

Almost had to spend Christmas in the hospital.  I have the lung disease kicking up its heels again. Everyone in this area has had it,  has it, or probably will be getting it. I had a flu shot guess that wasn't covered.  This time however, I did not have pneumonia, just the inflammation and infection in my lungs and no fluid around my heart either which is a very good thing.  They just kept me in the hospital overnight so they could get my oxygen level up to 95 so they could release me.  I was released late on Christmas Eve.  I am better now and am doing fine and will be doing a follow up with my doctor.  Word is he may be testing me later to get an oxygen tank at home and a little carry on shoulder oxygen tank.  They couldn't believe I had never had one as bad a my lungs are.  The doctor who took my x-rays said I definitely have severe COPD.
