Home from hospital Mood
Friday, October 16, 2009 | A General Update story

Well, just got home today from a week in the hospital. They treated me for pneumonia, the flu, and bronchitis, COPD and of course heart failure. They never did tell me what it was. But Lord did they load me up on meds. IV antibiotics and steroids topped by pain med and cough syrup with codeine. The did a great job taking care of me. I am still sick, but well enough to continue my road to health here at home. For those who I have worried by my absence....so sorry. Now...onward to our Ocean voyage to Tahiti my fellow COPDers.
