Just checking in.....

rockin'robin · 12-02-2011, 07:40 PM

....I'm finally out of the hospital but not out of the woods yet!...Feeling much better tho'...and was thinking of AD....Infection settled in and after so many cultures, they finally found the right antibotic to fight it...seems I had a bacterial infection that would not respond to anything!...But after 10 days in the hospital, I finally came home....loaded with more meds...and an IV drip...plus a PICII implant in my arm....

Feeling sort of "loopy" tonight!...So can't type much more...but hopefully I'll be back to AD in a few more days....Seems my hair turned almost white in several days! HAHA...

Will be back later...got lots of reading to update myself as to what has been going on....

Glad you ok RR

**mbrek** · 12-02-2011, 07:41 PM

Yay! I was wondering how you were! I'm so glad you're feeling better. Things are too quiet here without you.

blondon704 · 12-02-2011, 07:44 PM

Hope you feel better soon :-)

Journey · 12-02-2011, 07:50 PM

Glad you are home Robin, I wondered why you hadn't been around. Sounds like they have you on a full antibiotic regiment, I hope it has you feeling much better asap! :-)

**Bottesini** · 12-02-2011, 08:03 PM

I am glad you are home. I hope your recovery goes smoothly from this point.

**Beowulf** · 12-02-2011, 08:06 PM

Welcome home, rockin'robin. Take it easy and slow. Ten days at the hospital is no fun at all.

Jazzberry · 12-02-2011, 08:28 PM

Wow! I'm glad the docs found the right anitbiotic. Hope you get all well very, very soon!

**shel90** · 12-02-2011, 08:44 PM

Awww..glad you are ok, RR!

**deafskeptic** · 12-02-2011, 08:47 PM

Hey glad to hear from you and I hope your infection goes away soon! Its no fun being in hospital! Bet you'll want to eat your own cooking!

**TXgolfer** · 12-02-2011, 08:58 PM

Welcome back and good luck in your continued recovery!

Maybe you can sell your story to House MD when you are better and make $$$

**KristinaB** · 12-02-2011, 09:10 PM

Glad you made it home and so glad they figured out the infection and got the right stuff for it.

Get plenty of rest. There's a lot to catch up on.

Bebonang · 12-02-2011, 09:13 PM

Speedy Recovery! Get lots of rest to help beat infections including drinking plenty of fluids like water and hot tea. In no time you will be back to normal again. We all miss you and will be waiting for you to come around here.

Miss-Delectable · 12-03-2011, 05:04 AM

Hope you'll heal quickly!

Take care

**saywhatkid** · 12-03-2011, 07:35 AM

YAY! Fixed at last? Better get a laptop so you can keep up with your internet world. I know your boys are helping you, but you will be getting a steady diet of boy-food. Think pizza, burgers, etc

Frisky Feline · 12-03-2011, 07:41 AM

welcome back. hope you feel better soon. so enjoy reading the bizarre posts. lol

**Reba** · 12-03-2011, 09:08 AM

Steinhauer · 12-04-2011, 08:44 AM

Glad to see you back - your jokes have been missed.

**Cheetah** · 12-04-2011, 09:15 AM

I hope you are feeling better RR! I'm curious, I would be bored out of my mind if I had to rest more than a couple of days. How do you pass the time?

Thks, Journey!....And yes they did, a full regiment of antibotics. I was so tired of being picked and probed and all that...very frustrating...but today, I'm feeling real good! (As my doctor said I would in a few days)!

...and you bet! (finding the right antibotic)....was suspected I had MRSA...

But anyhow, I'm feeling pretty good! Some pain, yes, but tolerable and those damn pain pills make so so "loopy"...I'd rather just tolerate a little pain so at least I can function more normally....

....I was in the Neuroscience Wing...that's usually for spinal cord, strokes, brain injuries, etc.....So there was not 1 patient who could get out of bed and do some walking...

Fortunately, I could, and did so to avoid any blood clots in my legs. So I did a lot of walking and "peeking" at other patients and saying "hello"....I just walked around with my IV drip pole! And the treatment lasted 2 hours, twice a day...

Nurses and doctors got "angry" at me...so I had to inform them before going for a walk down the Halls....jeez!..

As for TV, lots of times I was too looped up to be able to read the captions, even when I had the TV right in front of my face.....reading magazines was out too until the meds slowed down....

Seems all the hospital guards knew me "on sight"...haha...walking down the halls....I also spent much time in the Chapel, which meant a lot to me and gave me strength!

Crossword puzzles helped too....visitors (family and friends) and even "surprise" visitors helped so much.

Well, I don't want to go back and don't wish this on anyone!....I'm home now and it's fantastic! No place like "HOME".

Buddy!...As for the "boy food" 3 of my nice pots were burned almost up!...When I asked..."what the hell happened to my Pots?"...nobody knows anything...then they say..."well, we tried as much as we could."...which melted my old heart....(but secretly thanking the man upstairs the house did not burn down). ....guessing Ramen Noodles was their dinner of the day most times....

Maybe a laptop after Xmas...dunno...I would have not been able to talk to you guys much in the hospital tho'!...(hands and arms so sore from the IV's)...but glad to be back....
