I'm still here, but doing pretty well. Things decrease so gradually that sometimes I dont even realize how sick I am feeling until I start to feel better and go "oh yeah, this is what its supposed to be like!" lol. So, I'm breathing much easier. I was using extra oxygen when I first got here and now I'm holding my own without it, except a small amount while I'm exercising. Yes, on top of using the vest 3 times a day, they have brought a stationary bike in here and I've been using that every day. Really helps the lungs. Anyway, with all that, and nebulizers, and IVs three times a day, and eating, and sleeping- they keep me pretty busy, so I haven't been toooooo bored. Steve's been here a few times, he's.... well, no need to swoon here :-p Its been so good to have internet in my room! Also, the nurses here are really great. The food is ok, but since its so important for my health not to lose weight, they gave me some meal coupons to use in the cafeteria if I want to go get extra food, which is sweet. The doctors say that my lungs are sounding much better, and we'll retest the lung function numbers on tuesday to see where they are.
SO without going into too many details, that's it :-) Thanks for the well wishes!
