I am in the hospital :-(

I've got admitted yesterday due to high fever (103.8 F), diarrhea, back pain , my whole body was aching and every time I take deep breath, my chest hurt. First I thought I have blood clots; however, after x-ray and cat scan, I found out that I have pneumonia.

If you don't mind, could you please keep me in your thoughts?

Hi:

One of my band friends also got pneumonia (sp?) shortly after being banded. I think she ended up in the hospital for five days. Now's a time to follow the doctors orders, get good medicines, and rest rest rest. This is not a good way to start, but things will improve as long as you take care of yourself. It'll all be worth it in the end.

Take care.

I love my band!

Thank you everyone for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.

Right now as long as I have my med (morphine), I am ok. They are giving me a breathing treatment (nebulizer) 4 times a day. For Anti-biotic, they give me every 12 hours. They are also doing the stool culture to see if I have stomach flue or not.

I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again for thinking about me.

More prayers lifted up for you. Hoping you are feeling better quickly and you get to get back on the road for success.

Just tired

This is terrible news, but at least you're in the right place - the hospital. Take good care of yourself and follow doctor's orders.

So sorry to hear you are in the hospital! Take it easy and feel better soon. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
