I got back from the ER about an hour ago and am all clear to fly to Austin tomorrow night. I was given a nebulizer treatment, which was amazing given that I was so short of breath on admission. My oxygen level was around 80 when I came in and after a minute or so of the treatment, it was around 97-99. I was given all new prescriptions to help me feel better. Unfortunately I was given steroids and am concerned about the possible weight gain component especially because a week from tomorrow is the wedding and as of right now, the bridesmaid dress doesn't fit so well. I was also given an asthma inhaler and cough syrup with codeine. This should be an interesting flight...
My chest x-ray was clear. I have Reactive Airway Disease, which is basically a fancy name for acute bronchitis (I'm guessin'). Thanks Ellen for all of the well wishes...Your crossed fingers really did the trick. I'm so excited about going home although I do plan to take it easy while I'm there, I want to continue to get better.
I leave tomorrow night and get into Austin around midnight. I'll see Sam on Sunday afternoon once he gets back from the bachelor/bachelorette party weekend.
