Pneumonia! No wonder I felt so bad...



Recommended Posts

Well, I posted the other day that I was banded last week and still felt awful.

I found out yesterday that I have a touch of Pneumonia! I kept using my spirometry bottle and my breathing was getting worse instead of better...so went to the Doc.

SO, Instead of going back to work today, I'm off for the rest of the week and I'm on an antibiotic and have had 2 breathing treatments. I guess I am not so suprised this happened. I am very suseptible (sp?) to bronchitis, etc. My allergies and asthma kick my ass all the time.

The doc did say, though, that he thinks my asthma and some allergies may get better with weight loss. Let's hope so...

My emotions have been so up and down.. I am so ready to get on with it!

I'm venting...

~Pamela.

Pamela, that will explain it all right.

since I've been banded, I almost never ever use my puffer. This is really significant because before banding I was getting nebulizer treatments several times a week.

Take care Pamela. Since being banded I have not gotten Bronchial Asthama which always hits me this time of year. Hope you get better
