On Sunday Cindy woke up with some shoulder pain, which by Monday had turned into difficulty breathing, which by Monday night had turned into shooting pains in her side/chest.
Since she was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure back in February, we rushed her to the nearest emergency room.
Turns out, she has pneumonia. We had been sure it was something to do with her heart. Pneumonia didn't occur to us, since everyone knows the symptoms for that are coughing up phlegm, fever, chills, and so on.
But it also causes difficulty breathing and chest pain, which were her only symptoms (so far). They hooked her up with some IV antibiotics and sent us home with a prescription for more. I'm really glad we went to the doctor when we did.
Bless your hearts, y'all are having a TIME of it lately!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Cindy get a bit of good luck soon!!
Hang in there!!!!
I hope she's doing better and that things get easier for the two of you soon. Just wanted you to know that you are both in our thoughts, even if I'm not so good at commenting to let you know anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks y'all! We appreciate the well-wishing!
ReplyDeleteShe's feeling a lot better already, just a few days later.
