They did more tests and took some fluid off her lung to help her breathe easier. Dr saw some "spots" on the ct scan, so more tests have been ordered. Glad they are being thorough, but I am convinced the "spots" are from pneumonia (they still won't confirm that's what she has). She's getting antibiotics, so that makes me happy (my suggestion would have been a heavy dose of cipro from the outset - that fixed me up within 2 days when I had pneumonia). Lesson for the day - don't try to wait things out, get to a dr at the first sign of something amiss. Sigh.
My bff was with her yesterday, but Mom insisted that I was the one needing help, so bff came down for a visit to lift my mood. I didn't realize until bff showed up with dinner, that I hadn't eaten anything since lunchtime on Monday (I completely forgot to have dinner, I was so stressed, sigh). Mom insists I continue with my plans, as I can't do anything to help (I'm not allowed near hospitals with my lack of immune system). So, I'll be off to jury duty in a little while, then theatre plans tonight. I wanted to cancel my theatre tonight, but Mom was insistant that I go and have fun (I've been looking forward to Gaslight for months - it's my favourite film).
Still stressed, but at least I've had something to eat & a bit of sleep. Really, I just want my Mommy.
Off to start my day.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. :)
