It's Me this time!

I want to thank everyone who sent those beautiful cards throughout my current illnesses. They were welcomed every day and helped me deal with being housebound.

My Pulmonary doctor was my lastest appointment and she ordered oxygen, inhaler and more drugs to get the pneumonia out of my system. For the 2 week cold that's going around and caused me a heap of trouble I'm eating oranges and Vitamin C. She added that the pneumonia recovery would be about 12 weeks. That'll make it a full year that I've been sick.

Since I've been on the oxygen my voice is stronger and I'm able to talk although I've forgotten a lot of words so the "Maria Charades" lives on. I'm eating 3 meals a day but my love of food hasn't come back yet. I eat to gain some weight but it's not happening yet. When the weather is nice I try to walk outside sometimes it's just the cul-de-sac and sometimes I can get to the end of the street.

I'm no longer in the cancer drug trial because the drug no longer kept the cancer from growing. Once I've recovered from all my current ailments we'll research where we'll go next. My hope is that I'll be able to post on the blog more often. I'm sorry but the email was impossible--I can't sit at the computer that long.
