Pneumonia Blues
On Sunday, I was really short of breath, even just from walking across the room. I tried taking a shower..BIG mistake. I could hardly breathe at all, and the edges of my vision were kind of going black. I somehow got dressed again and then went back downstairs to mom, where I was completely freaking out (which didn't help breathing either lol) and mom rushed me to the ER. They were pretty quick seeing me this time..when they put that oxygen clip thing on my finger, it was 91! They did a breathing treatment, which brought my oxygen up a little, but it didn't do much else. They tested me again for covid and flu (still negative) and did another chest x-ray, which definitely looked worse. The doctor talked to another doctor and asked if I needed to be admitted, but since I'm otherwise healthy, my oxygen stayed kind of steady (though still kind of low), and my lab work looked good, they gave me an inhaler and an oxygen monitor I could take home..they said if my oxygen got to around 88, I should go back to the ER. That was pretty terrifying though, I thought I was dying! I was definitely reading the appropriate book though:
Les Miserables! Probably the longest book I've ever read. It didn't NEED to be that long, but I think Victor Hugo challenged himself to write the longest book possible, with whole chapters not even related to the plot. It'll definitely be an accomplishment when I finish it!
Since then, I've felt a little better each day (I took my last antibiotic today). I've been way too tired to write here! My breathing is a lot better today..I can probably take a shower now without feeling like I'm dying haha. It's hard to stay positive when you've been sick for so long and not able to do much..I'm hoping by next week I can go back to work again, even for a couple hours. Pneumonia is definitely one of the worst sicknesses I've had..it's exhausting and I never want it again!! Abby's been a good nurse!
So cuddly!
Awwww <3
Aunt Gina had to put her cat to sleep this week. :( She video called mom and Julie and Cindy, and I had to come over when I heard sobbing. I think her cat got a blood clot in his leg, which collapsed and he was meowing in pain. She took him to the vet and they said he was too old to have his leg removed, so all they could do was put him to sleep. It was HARD watching that, but everyone was there for her (Joelle came on too). It was so sad seeing her hold her cat in his last moments, omg. :( Losing a pet is always hard, especially when it's sudden like that. I'm glad everyone was able to be there for her, it would have been awful to do something like that alone :(
25. What Do You Want to Be Doing When You’re 80? Reading books, cuddling cats, maybe traveling..who knows lol

Les Miserables! Probably the longest book I've ever read. It didn't NEED to be that long, but I think Victor Hugo challenged himself to write the longest book possible, with whole chapters not even related to the plot. It'll definitely be an accomplishment when I finish it!
Since then, I've felt a little better each day (I took my last antibiotic today). I've been way too tired to write here! My breathing is a lot better today..I can probably take a shower now without feeling like I'm dying haha. It's hard to stay positive when you've been sick for so long and not able to do much..I'm hoping by next week I can go back to work again, even for a couple hours. Pneumonia is definitely one of the worst sicknesses I've had..it's exhausting and I never want it again!! Abby's been a good nurse!
So cuddly!

Aunt Gina had to put her cat to sleep this week. :( She video called mom and Julie and Cindy, and I had to come over when I heard sobbing.

It was HARD watching that, but everyone was there for her (Joelle came on too).
