Double Shot

The hospital stay went smoothly and I was able to come home last Friday.  I am so grateful I am able to do that because after a little while in there I am ready to get out.  If it wasn't for some of the respiratory therapists, the procedures that go along with them and the food, I wouldn't mind being there as much.  Even if everything was perfect in the hospital, it is still nice to be home.  I am able to sleep in my own bed and be able to actually do things.  I would do the whole thing at home except that first week I really am too sick to do it all by myself.  It is better to let my nurses set everything up with the port and allow them to nurse me back to health those first few days. 

Candles on the Cake

Today is my 27th birthday.  I am still in the hospital, but to everyone's surprise not too upset about it.  It is not where you are, but the people you are with and today many people have made this day special for me....

Thank You for Being a Friend

I am back in the hospital for an exacerbation.  I made it a little longer than last time and this month was a good month.  My coughing has gotten rougher.  I have a lot of unexpected coughing fits that bring me to the verge of passing out, but I am learning to get through those.  I can't complain about this because I had some energy to go out and do things with people the last few weeks.  I did not have this luxury the previous month and it was horrible.  My friends and family have been coming over and taking me out a lot, even if it's for a little while.  It isn't always easy or go smoothly, but I am grateful they all put up with it for me.  And when I am too tired and can't go out they just come over and we have a good time here.
