I, started having a hard time breathing so I had a chest x-ray and I have a build up of fluid between my lung and chest wall, a patially collapsed lung, and pneumonia. So I'm on antibiotics and I'm on oxygen. I should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow on oral antibiotics and home oxygen for as long as I need it. I'm tired of my body breaking!

Oh, Adam.  :cuddle;

What a bummer.  :thumbdown;

You have had enough troubles. ENOUGH! Let's get this beat and have things look back up again. Okay?  :cuddle;

Thinking of you.

As far as the lung issues go, they are much better. The pneumonia seems to be cleared up, and the other problems seem to be resolved. I do occasionally still get short of breath, but I'm doing much better as far as that goes.
