Today makes 14 days I've been back on OH. I've spent the last 10 almost to sick to be home. In hindsight, I should have been hospitalized. Still on steroids for my asthma, but my peak flows (amount of air you can expel) have increased from a low of 200 at the ER to 400 yesterday. :bounce: I'm still exhausted and tire so easily, but it's resolving, finally.
I slept on the couch downstairs for a week, unable to climb the stairs more than once a day for a shower. Last night, I got my bed put together and slept in it for the first time here. It was so nice. :)
I found a very cheap washer/dryer on Craig's list and after driving 170 miles Sunday and renting a trailer, they're in my basement and working perfectly.
Today it's organizing my closet and setting up my office so I can make up for my lost weeks. The dining room is packed with boxes and will be the last room done.
Lelapin was amazing through this whole ordeal. She fought a panic attack following the squad to the ER last Saturday and took care of me when I couldn't walk 5 feet under my own power. I will always and forever be grateful to her. She was my rock.
So that's it from Tara. :hug:

It's so nice to get between nice clean sheets in one's own bed, isn't it? I hope you make a full recovery very soon ... please don't overdo it if you can help it. Remember that the tortoise won the race. ;-)
