So I was supposed to have a D&C last Tuesday, but they wouldn't do it because I had the flu the week before and had too much fluid in my lungs, and apparently that's not safe with general anesthesia. Unfortunately, since I had the immune system of a pregnant woman (just without the viable baby of course), I found out that my flu turned into pneumonia.
I'm scheduled for a D&C again tomorrow. I've been on antibiotics for the past 5 days, but I am worried that I still have too much fluid in my lungs. I'm definitely getting better, but I'm still coughing and I can still hear fluid in there. Plus, Dr. Google says it takes pneumonia 2 weeks to clear up. I'm afraid I'm going to be continuing in limbo land even longer.
And to add more insult to injury, I can't drink while I'm on antibiotics, so I'm having to go through this miserable time, along with the holidays, dead sober. Ugh!
Re: Ugh... so ready to move on
(((hugs)))
I'm so sorry you're going through this. T&P's your way that the antibiotics did what they needed to and there's no fluid on your lungs, so you can begin the process of starting to heal.
