24th Shot tonight

Well it's number 24 still hanging in there, trying to get pneumonia again, it never went fully away. The dr. sent me in some more antibiotics. Feeling like crap atm. I know tomorrow will be not so hot. Bones still hurting. My blood work came back it showed something called band. I looked it up and it said that it was the white cells forming to start to fight an infection. So i'm glad I got the meds tonight. Will be getting my viral load back in a few days. Hopefully it will still be negative. I know it will God is with me. God Bless you all, an hang in there. If I can do this with pneumonia anyone can do it...lol Luv

I did find some useful information on pneumonia online.  It said the you should breath in as deeply as you can and expel it out your mouth as hard as you can three times an hour.  This makes sense -- we need to expel the cr@p that is deep down in our lungs.  Whenever I think about it I do this.

Patches.  I have pneumonia too. As soon as they diagnosed it I thought of you.  I really thought I was having extreme chest pain and heart pumping fast from the anemia so I was glad that the antibiotic actually stopped the pain.  I don't know what I would have done if what I experienced was just from treatment drugs.  I started my second week of antibiotic Thursday.  I have read that it take 2-4 weeks to get over this.  We need to take care and try to do less and sleep more, and I am sure that is as hard for you as it is for me.

I think bands and segments are like baby neutrophils.  It is just that some CBCs show them and some don't.  I don't think it is any problem at all.

Shot 26 last night, 22 to go
