Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying

Since I have been off the antibiotics I have been feeling relatively good. The first couple days after I got home I was still getting winded easily.  A couple days ago though I have been noticing an increase in my energy.  I am doing my best to keep myself as active as possible without over doing it.  It feels great to be able to do things.  Today I even had energy to do some cleaning in the second bedroom.  We still have a few boxes that we never unpacked so I decided to tackle some of that while I had the ambition.  lol  Hopefully this lasts for a little while.

The Other Side of This Life

On September 29th I had my orientation with Roswell and then went back into the hospital for IV meds right after.  I was having a very hard time breathing and needing oxygen all day long.  Even with the oxygen on I couldn't walk ten feet without becoming winded. Thankfully I was able to get through the orientation and that went good.  There was about twenty of us and we all sat through a slide show and learned what was expected of us as volunteers.  We were all given a health assessment that we had to fill out.  One of the things on the list was getting two PPD's.  I had one done earlier in September so all I had to do was get one more and have my doctor fill out the form.
