Recovery continues to improve

I have to say - my recovery is moving along. Pain is not too bad (although I still have to take pain meds). My stamina and physical strength isn't quite up there yet...but it will be. I still get tired easily. Still on steriod treatment and that may be for a few months.

I'm still blessed ;-)

Recovering from illness

It's been a while since I've blogged. First, I came down sick with a cold, bronchitis and then pneumonia. I was hospitalized for two weeks with what is called "bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia(boop)". I had a bronchialoscopy which didn't help diagnose anything. Then finally an open lung biopsy which the doctors were finally able to diagnose. 

I'm home now and recuperating. I will have 3-6 months of steriod treatment and hopefully I will be overcome. It's funny - during this time I have re-evaluated my life. My health is more important right now...I'm grateful to be on the path to recovering and I will never take my health, my family for granted (not that I have)....friends and family came through to comfort and help me...I will never forget that. My husband was there and he's a great husband! I love him so much and we're closer than ever!


Thank you God for all the blessings ;-)
