Re: Bronchial pneumonia for me

Thanks everyone for the good wishes and advice on meds, John, no   I didn't have that but I think I know what you  mean with the spirometer. I'm slowly getting better, much coughing for sure, but it sounds like a lot of you have had it much worse. I do hope you all get better soon,too. I haven't been on the computer much so this is my first visit since I wrote the original.

 

The one shots I know are the original one which we had a few years ago, and Prevnar 13. The nurse where I go said there is a new Prevnar but Medicare hasn't approved it yet. And we need it. 

 

My best to you all.

Glad to hear you are slowly getting better and hope the process speeds up for you.

 

I can relate directly to the coughing issue from my year long processes of working on getting all the fluid, I aspirated into my lungs, completely removed.

 

Have had 5 broken ribs over the years and after so much coughing every day for so long, it almost felt like it was breaking my ribs.

 

At times I felt like I would never have clear lungs again, but I kept working with the Spirometer and giving myself 3 a day Nebulizer treatments, and that day finally came for me.

 

Best to you from our house of felines,
