No I did not turn down being admitted to the hospital. If he had
chosen to admit me I would have been right then and there. The
kidney stones, are what I would call dormant right now. They
are not moving at present, so they are no danger to me. That
is the reason I believe they did the CT scan, the xray I couldn't
hold my breath the way it was needed. So they chose to double
check.

I am giving the antibiotics today to work. They don't seem to
be doing much, but I've just had two doses. I realize its going
to be this afternoon before I know for sure. And my plan is
to go back to ER on the way home if necessary.

I'm doing everything I can for my asthma and the pneumonia.
I just have to wait a little more patiently. I will only be a hour
away from the hospital I was at yesterday if I decide I need to
get back. From home its 30 or 35 minutes anyway.

So its 11/2 hours or so to my moms. So I'm not going that far.
I'm doing this as much for Derrick and my mom. As anything.

I wont put myself into lots of danger and I am watching my
wheezing. If necessary I'll go to the local hospital there.

By the way, I have Physical therapy once a week right now
for my vestibular issues, balance is big right now. And were
working back to the machine that I need to get back on.
And she has me using one of their bikes right now.

And I'm going to a physical therapist 2 a week right now for
my neck and shoulder, but the shoulder should be about over,
but I have a appointment to discuss all this with my primary
on Wednesday January 2nd, and plan to ask her to have the
neck continued.
And for a referal to a different Pulmonary doctor. She might
be able to either get me into the more appropriate for me. Or
one in Indianapolis, and I'll specifically ask a friend to take me.

I now understand why the asthma/allergy doctor is concerned
about the drive. I will not ask my husband to lose a day of
pay to do that. But then I can ask for pulmonary rehabilation
at St Elizabeth which is were I'll be admitted if I end up back
there. Which is why I'll go there. Haven't seen a pulmonary
again yet.
