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.
