Surgery Date Moved...i Am Sick!

[ShannonK 266]

So I need to be moved to the July Sleevers group! Started feeling bad last Tuesday when I went to the hospital for my gall bladder ultrasound....by Thursday, I had a low grade fever and went to my surgeon for a pre-op appointment. I told him I wasn't feeling well and had a cough. He listened to my lungs and said they sounded fine, and I was good to go for surgery on the 5th.

Friday - I head to the coast with my family for fun in the sun and camping at the beach. I figured the salt air would help with my cough.....By Sunday morning, I couldn't take it anymore and drove myself to the after hours clinic. 99.8 fever and almost my whole right lung is full of crap - PNEUMONIA!

SO now I have Albuterol breathing treatments, a shot in my butt, 750mg of antibiotics and codeine cough syrup.....

And a new surgery date of July 2nd.

I keep telling myself things happen for a reason - I will still have plenty of time to recover before I go back into the classroom, and I think part of the sadness is I feel so bad right now! NO energy, headache, cough and tired.....bleh! SUrgery after this is going to be easy!

Good luck my June Sleevers!! Hello July friends!!

I'm so sorry you have to wait. I am glad you got medical intervention when you needed it. Take good care of yourself. I agree with you that everything happens for a reason, we just may not always see what it is.
