This is my third day out of the hospital and I feel like I’m holding on to that roller coaster; one minute I'm on the upward cycle, feeling well holding onto my situation and then everything stops for just a second before all hell breaks loose! Suddenly I’m in freefall. Everything hurts, aches, and I’m headed for the bathroom. Next, there’s coughing, trying to relieve my arms and stomach. I hope and pray that as I get through the night, I’ll be back on the upward swing and have some relief, a few good hours and a relaxing day.
I still haven’t been out of my apartment. I’m longing for a walk outside. I know I can walk. I don’t know how far. I don’t want to be farther away than I can walk back without pain.
