Confused Back from the Dr. again

We just returned from seeing the Infectious Disease specialist who ordered a C-T Scan of my chest. It still looks like Pneumonia, so he has started me on home IV antibiotics with Ceftriaxone for 5 days, and then I will see him again. I honestly didn't realise that I was this sick. I was extremely tired, but I thought that was from being sick for SO long. I still have to take the breathing treatments, and they gave me some IV fluids at the outpatient department because he felt that I was a tad dehydrated.

We're waiting on the home health company to bring out the IV antibiotics. They started my IV at the outpatient department, and hopefully, it will last for 5 days (it has to come out after that anyway). So, this is a last ditch effort before they admit me to hospital. If you have any prayers or good thoughts left, I could use them now. I really don't want to be a patient in hospital. You know what they say.....Nurses and medical personnel make the worst patients, and I know I am not an exception.

Thanks for all of your thoughts and caring this week. I'm going back to bed, it's been an exhausting day. I shall check back with you over the weekend or when I am awake. Have a lovely weekend, you lot!

All the best,
Chris
