This is Johnny writing. I am not feeling too good as I write this, but I AM feeling better. I am still recovering from a breathing episode that left me scared.
You see, I saw Jesus. Now THAT isn't scary, but almost dying was. I saw the doctors and nurses working on me, and seeing me lying on the table dead really scared me. I really thought tht I was about to die!! And Jesus, I guess, didn't want me just yet; He told me to go back home (to earth); it wasn't time, He told me.
Darn. I wanted to go with Jesus....
You see, I nearly died. I had a seizure, and I then quit breathing.
I have epilepsy (among other serious health problems--muscular dystrophy being the worst one--I'm in a wheelchair most of the time--, vision and hearing problems, and learning problems), but I AM getting better..although slowly. I also have serious breathing problems and have to use oxygen.
I've been in the hospital for about 3 days, and I just got out of the ICU this morning. But I still have to be on oxygen, and my chest still hurts. (I guess they pounded on me pretty good to bring me back to life.) My arms hurt, too; they are all bruised; it feels like someone's been using me for a punching bag!! :(
But I AM starting to feel better; today I even managed to eat a little. I also got to get my catheter taken out, and I was able to go to the toilet on my own (although a nurse had to help; I am still feeling quite weak).
My sister, Ronee', got out of the hospital yesterday; she was in for 1 1/2 weeks due to her arthritis acting up. She had another flare; and I am sure she will write about THAT..getting out of the hospital, I mean. She always likes to let everyone know just how she is doing.
I have never done something like that, but it sounds like a good idea. (Although it IS hard trying to type with two bruised arms, and also a pair of I.V's. Quite painful, that!!)
So I am trying to do what Ronee' has done before..letting her friends know what has been going on with her. Except it is MY turn.
So there. Now you know that I am in the hospital, but I AM getting better!!
Can't wait to get these I.V.'s out, and can't to GET ON OUT OF HERE!!! I want to go home!!!!!!!
It's NO FUN being sick!!! It's the absolute ~PITS~!!
