I'm Back

 

I am finally home after 17 days at the Cleveland Clinic.

 

 

Seven days in the hospital and ten days as an outpatient.

Needless to say everything seems like a blur.

Cleveland Clinic takes a "team" approach

 to diagnose a patient with a unusual symptoms.

I was very impressed with my treatment.

 

I am home with a diagnosis of Histoplasmosis, 

which is a result of a fungus, that is in the soil,

that becomes air borne and inhaled.

Many people are affected by it resulting

in flu like symptoms only for a week or so.

 

 

Well lucky me,

 the fungus stayed in my system

and started attacking my lymph nodes

 and esophagus which was very painful.

 



I have started an anti fungal medication

 that I will be on for 3 months to a year.

I am feeling a little better

 and have been told I will have

some up and some down days.

That is okay at least I know what I am dealing with.

Hopefully I will back full force soon.

Thanks to all of you that left lovely and caring thoughts.

Enough already!

I am ready to return to the blogging world.

It may not be what I am doing currentl.y

I plan to take this opportunity

to share many things that in

this crazy busy world I didn't

have time to post at the time.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Wishing you health and smiles!
