And Now We Wait No More!

Nearly 24 hours after the procedure was done on my sister-in-law the doctor reported the great news. No cancer, no degenerative lung disease, nothing but the pneumonia. And, according to my sis-in-law, they cleaned the goop out so she should be getting better from that. She has other problems, too, including a surgically-repaired back that wasn’t repaired all that well, so it’s painful for her to do things. So she sits a lot, and that can lead to things like pneumonia. She also has anxiety, and the panic attacks can really mess things up. She had one her first night in the hospital and they called my brother because everything went in the wrong direction (heart rate up, breathing up, blood pressure up, etc.). I didn’t get to go see her today because…well, I can’t see much of anything right now. I had an eye appointment, and that comes with those nasty eye drops. Then the doctor shines a light in your eyes nonstop. Every time she’d take the light out I’d blink and see a new color. I started singing, “the girl with kaleidoscope eyes,” then said, “So that song wasn’t about drugs, it was about an eye exam!” She liked that one. But tomorrow I’ll chug back across the river and pay my sis-in-law a visit. I’m so thankful that there’s nothing critically wrong (not that pneumonia is a walk in the park, mind you; however, that is treatable). And I cannot say THANK YOU enough to all of you wonderful myLotters who’ve expressed your concern. What a great little family we have here!!
