Cindy, I keep thinking I'm living your life. Have you put a hex on me?
I'm over the pneumonia and strep throat. I had become so dehydrated I couldn't get my act together. My blood pressure is low anyway and they think that the dehydration caused it to be lower and that's why I fainted. I stayed in the hospital to get fluids because my electrolytes were a little out of whack because of no circulating fluid volume. It all started with the flu or virus (whatever it was) that I had right after my scar revision. I vomitted for 6 or 7 days and I kept blaming it on the anthesia but now I think it was something else. Whatever it was, it dehydrated me and I lost 21 pounds in 2 weeks. Then I got better for a few days and was cooking dinner everynight, and the pneumonia hit. I didn't get treated soon enough because again I blamed it on the scar revision. Why I did that I don't know. I should have known it was something else but maybe my brain was dehydrated too.
So by the time I got treated for the pneumonia and strep I was pretty far gone. I was drinking a lot of water but I was using it up breathing. I had a little cut on my head from the fall but it's better and I've gained 6 or 7 pounds back - fluid I guess. I'm still very tired. Thanks for asking.
