I'm Home!!

Hi everyone,
Well I'm finally home from an unexpected 12 days in the hospital with pneumonia. I got home in the late afternoon yesterday, and especially with the heat I'm still short of breath and weak. I still have to go back for one last procedure where they will drain the fluid from my lung, but I'm going to do that as an outpatient and wait a little. Even though the people were so very good to me during my stay, I still felt like I was in jail--jail with more needles than I have ever been poked with in my life! A few of the days, I was placed in a TB isolation room, while they ruled out TB as the cause of my pneumonia--talk about lock down!
No computer or internet for 12 days brought me home to 289 unread school emails. I'm working on them. I still don't feel well enough to do much, but the weight of so much piled up work is driving me crazy. I'm still on three different antibiotics, so it's my hope that I'll get stronger each day. I've now missed two weeks of chemo, so I will have to talk with my oncologist on Monday to figure out the new plan. I'll blog again soon to keep you updated.
I can't thank you enough for the hospital visits, flowers, cards and phone calls that kept me sane. I thank God for all of you!
