Got a little cold earlier this week. Congested, tight breathing. Gotout the nebulizer and the Albuterol on Tuesday - haven't needed eitherof them in months. Nebulizer quit working on Thur. Drugstore doesn'tcarry them. Call pulmonologist office - assistant useless. Got online, ordered one over the net, it will arrive maybe Tueday.Thought I could handle it, but lunchtime Sunday told dh "Sunday 1 p.m.,most people will be watching sports on tv, maybe I could get quickbreathing treatment in the ER." went there, not too busy, got abreathing treatment, said thank you very much, bye, and they told me OhNo, we have more tests to do. taken further back, x-rays, IV etc.Soooooooo. Here I am on the 7th floor of the hospital, withantibiotics, steroids and I'm not sure what the other one is going inIV, plus they have given me so much inhaled treatment I am totally dizzyand cannot stand unaided.Got dh to go home and bring me some toiletries, change of undies,another book, and,OF COURSE, the laptop.Hope to go home in the morning.Olwyn Mary in New Orleans.

Better to be taken care of. And I'm guessing there's quite a bit of humidity and heat in New Orleans, so perhaps they're being cautious to be sure that the environment won't cause you difficulty when you leave.

Hope you're getting better, though. Are they having you do breathing treatments & exercises? Keep it up! And at least you have your lap-top, and all that great hospital food...
