Back Home

OK. So, I'm out of the hospital and back home. I'm also exhausted because I
a. hate sleeping in hospitals, especially on beds that move
b. had horrible nightmares last night. Don't ask about what...you don't want to know.
c. Had to wait an additional 5 hours to start the discharge work, because the doctor on call was late. Really late.

However, I am out and I am grateful.
As far as the hospital stay went, it was a little surreal. I had a head CT, a chest CT, 2 chest X-rays and an EKG. Not mention, gave tons of blood, and other bodily fluids that I won't go into right now. All to have the doctor's come back and say. "Yes, you have pneumonia, but there is nothing that we can do about it in the hospital that you couldn't do at home. So go away."

I get the feeling that they could sense how much I didn't want to be there. So, now I'm home and on lots of meds. Apparently we have to watch me to make sure I don't get worse. I'd say watch me to make sure I get better, but I never felt bad so, that's not a great barometer.
I see doctor Ahmed next week, until then I'm just going about life like normal.

I'll keep you updated.
