Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Sorry to hear of the breathing trouble, I'm asthmatic but after new drugs (Seretide & Spiriva) from the specialist last year I have not had any problems. Glad to hear you are getting the full treatment.

Poor thing!

Get well soon Olwin Mary!! Dennis

*hugs* Gemini

Oh wow.....hope you feel better soon!

Donna

Gentle hugs, lots of chicken soup and I toss in the healing thoughts.

Me too! #1 daughter gets asthma, so I know how you feel. Take care - you`ve had a rotten year.

Pat

Oh, you poor thing! Have they decided what you have? And would you like some chicken soup? Feel better soon.

Higs, Katherine

There is probably just some normal kind of IV solution hung with the drugs - saline, D5W, etc. Don't stand - relax, and get help when you need to go to the little room.

So sorry to hear you've not been well. Hope this makes you feel ever so much better. Relax as best you can, and be pampered - at least on the hospital scale.

I hope you feel better very soon and can go home.

You might want to ask the doctor about keeping an Albuterol rescue inhaler on hand for a time like that when your nebulizer dies. It's not very expensive and usually they have an expiration date that's at least a couple of years from the date you buy it. It's not like the deep treatment you get with the neb, but it will make you feel better for enough time to help you to get to the doctor without any panic setting in.

Dear Olwyn,

As much as I know you must hate being in the hospital, I am still glad that they caught what you had and that you are getting treated for it.

I hope you get better soon! Sounds like you are being taken good care of anyway. But it must have been quite a shock to go in for a little treatment and ended up being kept at the hospital overnight.

Feel better soon!

Well, the doc came in this morning and said "No, you're staying at least one more night, we'll see how you are in the morning". And this in a town where the few hospitals which are in use are way overcrowded at times.

Oh well.

Don't take it so lightly, Olwyn. Respiratory problems in senior citizens can be VERY dangerous.

Dear Olwyn Mary, I'm so glad DH got you to the ER. Not being able to breathe well is so scary, she says as she uses her nebulizer. Don't rush yourself home. You know you need the treatment and the rest. I hope your new nebulizer gets delivered so that you have it when you get home. They are hateful things but not breathing is even more so. Prayers on the way. Juno

If you're getting antibiotics, that means the lab test showed positive for a bacterial infection -- which you don't need! So kick back and get rid of it before you go home. I hope the food's tasty.

Well, if he is keeping you in, there must be a good reason. Relax, and let them wait on you. Nap when you want to, and read, and knit. Sounds good to me right now!

Higs, Katherine
