Its been about 2 weeks now and I'm still hacking up a lung...arg...I can't take it any more. I'm back to work. And that is so less then fun I can't even stand it. I'm ok here at the house when I'm just sitting and not running around like a lunitic. But, when I get to work, especially that first hour or so when I'm running around (like a lunitic) I can hardly breath! It sucks so bad. My supervisor is all up my ass that I need to go back to the Dr. I keep telling her "I'll see how I am tomorrow" Tomorrow has come and gone for a about 3 yesterdays now. Lol. That first hour just KILLS me. It's so busy. I have a med pass to conquor, and in the mean time I have a dressing change to do on a wound and of course everyone is calling me and tracking me down for one issue or another. All of which I can do on the fly any other time, but all this running back and forth is just killing me with this congestion. I'm sucking on the inhaler, and gasping for air. Its horriable. After my 8pm med pass when I'm just sitting and doing my charting I finally start to breath better. idk what to do. I did get some prednisone. I'm taking that right before I leave for work. It is helping. Seems to open my air way up so I can function for that first hour. Hopefully this will cure all that ails me. |
