The Red Brick Times

Back home at last. I was released from EMH last night after an eight day stay. To make a long story short I waited too long (over a week) before seeking treatment for what I thought was just a horrible flu. Nope. Acute Atypical Pneumonia, and by then I was a very very sick puppy. My lungs are still trying to recover and I have to be on oxygen pretty much 24/7 for awhile.

I don't know how to properly thank those who went so far out of their way for me through this. Ralph and Andy especially have been unbelievably generous with their time. Vera, the head of Oasis Animal Shelter, took Niki into her own home for the duration. Without them and a few others....

Glad to hear you are home. Pneumonia is an insidous thing. Bad news is you will never forget the feeling. Good news is you will never forget the feeling. Don't do that again!
Take your meds, stay hydrated. I hope you have a humidifier on your O2. If not ask for one. Also, ask for a tiny Asian woman to do chest percussion for you, twice a day.
Oh, and Murphy says hello to Niki

Glad your Back. Be well. Maybe you need some hyper-oxygenated ocean air. The room's always available.

Nice to know. When the bills start coming in fleeing the state might start looking pretty good.
