The newest in my pneumonia saga

Well the saga continues. I am finally coughing stuff up and it's clear so hopefully lungs are cleared. Going to ask for xrays when I see my primary Dr.  On May 15th.


Since I was filled with so much fluid at Christmas I have been swollen all over. In the last 3 months about I have been on laziks first 20mg, then 40. Then torsemide which after 2 doses made my single kidney hurt so back to 40 mg Laziks then 80 then torsemide then finally back to 40 which I am still taking. 


I am no getting lymphedema pt. Which boils down to my legs being wrapped up with 4-5 layers of things. Plus 6 excersizes. I started last Friday with just the right leg, then Monday that got changed and wow did it go down and I was quite bruised so it did not get wrapped as tight and neither did the left leg. I thought my legs were heavy before now holey moley it takes all my strength just to go get my mail. I go in for rewrap tomorrow then friday and repeat 3 days a week until the 15th. Oh life is such a joy never know what is next. I just hope this is all for nothing because after the wraps they say I will go into compression socks. Due to my neuropathy my legs do not like them. I have always swollen up when had to wear them. Maybe age has changed that. Time will tell. 


On a high note I was able to spend some time with all 4 of my special bugs. My heart is filled with their love. Best I saw Aydan smile for real not just in a picture and hold him, he is a little chunky monkey. But so adorable even though he was in a crabby mood. Here is him on draft day he can be in the 2042 draft...lol.4a64805a23305b82a645b69936460e4acf7136eb.png

After all I have been going through I just laugh at whatever comes my way next because if I don't I will be sobbing. My littles really helped. I love them all so much. Trying to find joy in everything.
