Home from he hospital

The hospital kept me overnight. Every doctor who examined me said that my lungs sounded clear and that my vitals were perfect. One of the residents explained that the ct scan showed a collection of fluid in the upper lobe of my left lung, which could be blood or related to coughing up blood. Of course it is on my left side. It's not been as trustworthy as my right side.

Next week, the lung specialist will do a bronchoscope, where he will send a camera into my lungs to look for causes for bleeding.

During my stay, nurses and nursing assistants visited me to find out how I have been since being discharged in December. A patient whose room was next to mine also stopped by to say hi. It was nice to see everyone.

Ken and I left the hospital and then drove to Wildwood to have Easter with his family. I am so glad to not spend another holiday in the hospital.

Heading to the hospital

I coughed up blood again today. The doctor said to go to the emergency room. I am going to pack snacks and head out in a bit. I hope it isn't scary.

Yesterday, I got to walk on my leg at home with Ken watching. I will post the video. It's so exciting. I hope I can practice more tonight and that the hospital sends me home.

I am exhausted, possibly from chemo. I really don't want to go to the hospital.
