Sluggy Slugger

Yesterday I went to the doctor and had a check up for my pnemonia. My doctor wanted to do another chest x-ray to make sure the crud is going away. The x-ray still showed  a lot of junk, but it is way better than it was before. She showed me my first x-ray which was unbelievable, on an x-ray your lungs should look black, mine were almost all white. YIKES! So they also checked my blood oxogen levels with and without oxogen, and my doctor decided to drop me down to only wearing it when I am sleeping. It is SO nice to not wear it all the time. 

Most of you who don't see me everyday don't know that I am tired ALL the time. Never ending. I also need to be in bed until almost noon. Then I am groggy until 4 or 5. It is really weird. I asked my doctor about this as well and she says that my body is still fighting very hard to fight off this crap and get my lungs back to normal. 
I am so excited to go back to work, I miss it so much. I asked Dr. Abrahamson when she thought I would be ready to go back. She said about 2 weeks I should feel much better, and try to create a new sleeping pattern. Slowly but surely I will get back to normal as my body gets better. I already fell off the wagon. I was going to wake up at 8 today and really try to stay up until the kids took a nap. Well I just made it out of bed (11:44). There is always tomorrow.
