I'm home

[browngirl]

*waves*

songquake, thank you for giving me the wise advice I needed to stop dithering and call the doctor. WD, thank you for coming and sitting with me. Everyone who replied to my posts about the hospitalization, thank you for all your love. *beams*



If we generally treat patients the way I was treated (and aside of the private room I see no reason to assume otherwise) I'm pretty proud of the hospital where I work, and also was hospitalized. Evryone was excellent to me. Sometimes swift paced (look! A cloud of doctors just blew past!) but excellent.

So that's what strep throat feels like. $&#$@#%@#^$%##^#$@ that was unpleasant. I will not fail to take my antibiotics.

The attending thinks I should be checked out for sleep apnea. *makes note*

I met Nurse S's fiancee Nurse G, who took care of me this morning, and really liked her. She told me he likes macadamia nut cookies, and she likes blueberries. *makes note*

Now to try to catch up.

I don't check LJ for 24 hours and you go to the hospital? Eeeeek! Sorry it was necessary but very glad you're OK. Hope you'll be all better soon!

Welcome home! I'm so glad you had a good experience (as good as possible, under the circumstances!) at the hospital.

Glad they took good care of you, and extra glad that you're feeling better. Antibiotics are a wonderful thing.

I have sleep apnea, and getting treatment for it made a huge difference in my life! Some people complain about the machine that's used for treatment, but I wouldn't live without mine. If you do get diagnosed with it, I have some advice for acclimating to the machine; make sure you talk to me.

Yowza! What a couple of days you've had! Rest up and heal quickly <3

So glad you stopped dithering and got the help you needed! I'm especially glad that you're doing well enough to be home already, and that you got great care.

Continue taking good care of you! xoxoxo!

Glad to hear you are back home and feeling better!

(and your sense of humor is great, as always--"look! A cloud of doctors just blew past!" ;))

Yes, definitely get checked for sleep apnea

Yay, I'm glad you're feeling better! And that you were well taken care of. :)

Yay for being home!

So glad you're home safe!

Home and mending? Oh, good.

PS - I was diagnosed with sleep apnea last summer. A mild case, so no CPAP machine. Lois had it too, a good deal worse than I, but she took to her CPAP like the proverbial fish to water.

That's a heck of an adventure. I'm glad you're okay.

[peteralway.livejournal.com]

Eep! I'm glad you're on the mend. Yay for antibiotics!

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

yikes! i totally missed your illness, and am very grateful to hear you got care and are on the mend.

*all the hugs*

Glad you're on the mend. I am also highly amused that all you had to do was describe the pain and all of us were like "oh god, I've had that. that's strep!" It really is a distinctive sensation of awfulness
