I am going to start this post the same way I started the last post. "Yes, I know I have been an absentee blogger. I am sorry...." Well, this time I had another really good reason. You see, I have been in the hospital since Sunday evening. I began wheezing really bad on Saturday while we were camping and by Sunday evening it had only gotten worse. My Bub insisted that I get in the car because he was going to take me "home." The next thing I knew we were pulling into the Sevier County Medical Center ER. After 3 breathing treatments, a steroid injection and 8 hours in the ER, I was admitted to the hospital for further treatment. And that is where I have stayed until today.
The final diagnosis is still a BIG ?.
Possibly I contracted a viral infection that really did a number on my lungs; or I might have an acute case of adult onset asthma. I am being referred on to a lung specialist for follow-up testing and diagnosis. But the reality is that I might not ever know what caused this. Oh well, I guess I will just have to make sure I keep an inhaler handy from now on so that I don't end up in the same mess again.
Obviously, I am a just a little beat so I am going to close for today. Hopefully, I will have a little more energy in a few days. Stay tuned.........

glad you are home and improving!
Oh My Goodness! Both of us are falling apart!
My story is a little different... period since May... the dr. isn't sure whether to do a hysterectomy or wait it out. They found two lumps.. one on each side... diagnostic tests on Monday. I am SURE it is going to come back as fibroid cysts.. but we won't know until after Monday. Internal ultrasound on Monday, too. Trying to see what is going on in my uterus. So... nonstop drama and I am over it.
Thanks for checking in.

You are posting this while stretched out in bed or on the couch aren't you? Stop that cleaning and put your feet up. Sing Nemo's little mantra with "rest" instead of swim. ;-)
Although the mystery hasn't yet been solved, I'm so glad you are better and home with your family. Lots of love,
GIRLFRIEND.... I've been wondering about you. I'm glad you're home.
GET REST!!!
