I went into the hospital this past Saturday & the Drs couldn't find anything wrong. No fever, all blood cultures were OK, Urine was OK. So the Dr. finally decided that I probably have a viral infection. They at first thought I had pneumonia but the chest xrays didn't show anything that I didn't already have wrong with the lungs. My pulse ox was down to the mid 80s and I hadn't eaten since Thursday (just didn't want anything) and still really don't want much to eat. They put me on constant home oxygen and released me Tuesday afternoon. When they did the walk test for the oxygen, within 20' I dropped to 77 oxygen level. I still have absolutely no energy and am pretty much staying on the couch. The Dr. told me it may take up to 3 months to recover. It's sure gonna be fun putting up the 2nd cutting of hay, so I'm so grateful that I have a darned good neighbor and my Grandson will be here to get it done. I guess I really didn't have to worry about that month off the tractors after all LOL. I did get oxygen concentrators so I won't have to worry about oxygen cylinders falling off tractors like I had a couple years ago.
