RitaR Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 UPDATE: Mar Beth may have sweat but now it was my time. They hurt the toes, too! Since original post, I had to spend 2 days in the hospital with the COPD. I was terrified that the surgery would have to be cancelled because of the room rental at Moore Regional Hospital. Yesterday at my follow-up appt. the Dr. said it would realty be strange if it was csanceled, as I was sounding and feeling so good. And I really am, again. They said if I quit coughing, ( two or 3 times a day now ) I could stop the breathing treatments BUT they May help keep the bugs out. I am continuing until I see my pulmonogist. Only 28 days to surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsa3 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hang in there Rita. It's amazing what doctors can do with surgery these days. And of course the good Lord is looking out for you too. That always helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thanks, Ladies.. cough is less and less frequent. Still continuing the inhalation therapy, no rattles or wheezes any more, and I got up about 4 yesterday and didn't cough until 11:35. I still pray for all of you, and give a very big Thank You for your prayers and thoughts. Nothing beats prayer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
