UPDATE: Donna G.

Found this is my e-mail from Donna G., she asked that I post and let
everyone know what's up ;)

"...Sorry I have to update this way, but am having a rather rough go of it.
The breathing is not so good these days. I think the weather is really
playing havoc with my lungs.

Saw my pcp today and he sent me to the E.R. as he thought the pain might
be a blood clot or pneumonia. I was thinking maybe pneumonia.

Was running a bit of a temp by the time I got to the ER, but they were
totally swamped, and so sat out in the waiting room for 3 hours doing
breathing treatments out there! Never had that happen before.

Finally got called back and they did the usual, more breathing
treatments, blood work, chest x-ray, and IV steroids. X-ray came out
ok, but white count was elevated, so they started antibiotics for a
presumed bronchitis and sent me home.

They are so backed up in he ER that the nurse said they have people
still there from yesterday waiting to be admitted. WOW!!!

I think that's probably why they sent me home----and that's more than
fine by me!!! I am to go back and see my pcp tomorrow or thursday, so
will call their office in the morning.

Hopefully things go smoothly through the night and tomorrow.

Will let you know if anything changes at all, but that's the long boring
saga of my life! LOL!!!..."

Can whoever's sitting closest to the prayer machine add another scoop of
angel wings and crank it into overdrive?

Love you guys,
Kimmy
