So yesterday, the doctors decided to send me home. I gave them quite the attitude about it. From the first resp bedside test to the one 2 hours before discharge.... My numbers did not improve. YET... they decided to let me go anyway.
I asked them what the purpose of doing these "tests" every 4 hours... and the resident said to make sure that I didn't get worse. The Neurologist said that my sats have been fine since I got there... so there was no reason to keep me. So its okay if I don't get better? They just shrugged.
So... my breathing is still labored. Just vegging on the couch isn't too bad, but anytime I have to get up, I have to work harder to get my breath. I am very weak. Walking is a challenge. My legs just feel sooo heavy, same w/ my arms.
My hopes are that I can make it through today (Sunday) and get an appt tomorrow with MY neuro for either tomorrow or Tuesday. i will have my bags packed, I'm fairly certain he will admit me after one quick eval of me.
Any thoughts?
