Melanie in the hospital
« on: December 24, 2017, 08:06:42 am »
Created this thread to consolidate info.

After showing flu-like symptoms, Melanie has been hospitalized since Tuesday, I believe.  She is expected to remain in the hospital through Christmas.

This must be worse than the flu, since I read that the hospital has requested her presence through the end of the year.  Whatever the reason for the extended stay, I'm sure Melanie wouldn't let anyone down or disappoint the hospital by making an early departure.

Prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery, Melanie.

Well, she did dissapoint them.  She demanded they start the discharge process.  Going home tomorrow.

Pneumonia and Type A flu on top of the other pulmonary issues.

Good for her!

Pneumonia is not fun.  I know nothing about types of flu, but I guess identifying it is the first step.  It could be worse, but pneumonia is a pain to eradicate.

Song for Melanie, ”I'll be Home for Christmas”.

Yes, she's home.  We got home sometime around 1:30 Christmas Day.  She doesn't have the energy to be bad.  Got her into the house and into her recliner.  She slept in it last night and I slept on the sofa in case she had any problems during the night.  She is doing better today and is moving about the house with some reservations. 

Now, our daughter is in the hospital.  She was transporting a patient and developed a bad headache and generally wasn't feeling very well.  After delivering the patient they drove back to their base area and she went to ER.  Waiting on word from our son in law as to what's happening.

After sleeping in a recliner, she felt better.  Well, she must have been feeling badly.

I'm sorry to read about your daughter.  I hope for the best.

Melissa just got home.  Glucose level was sky high.  Her endocrinologist won't prescribe insulin and wants her to control it with oral meds.  After this, I think she will be changing doctors.

Maybe that will help with some other things, too.  It's very annoying when you go to a doctor, knowing what needs to be done, and only needing a prescription, and they only want to do things that will cause problems without solving problems.

My mother's doctor is prescribing surgery for the sore muscles in my mother's back.  He has my mother talked into it.  Worse, he's prescribing opioids for her current pain.  I know nothing about medical stuff, but in the computer world, I fix the biggest problem, and the small problems usually go away, in the process.

She is well enough that I could go to MikeMac's to have oil rotated and tires changed on the truck.  😁

"oil rotated and tires changed"?  Well, her condition hasn't hurt your sense of humor any.
