Pneumonia - The Old Person's Friend?

Post date: 2019-06-16 06:36:21

Anything that helped you or a loved one survive after a severe bout of pneumonia?

I'm 75 years old, some physical issues (post polio syndrome) but good health for my age. Last Monday morning at 4:00 woke coughing, unable to breathe, called 911. Admitted to the hospital Monday morning, diagnosis pneumonia, released Friday evening, still on antibiotics. Will be talking to my regular doctor on Monday (hopefully).

My family and friends are wonderful, but don't really know what will help. I'm frequently distressed, agitated, confused. I have never felt like this in my life.

I have always heard that pneumonia is the old person's friend. I have been kept alive, but no one has actually helped heal me, and no one knows what I need now or in the future. Without antibiotics I would have died. That would have have been okay. How I am now is not so okay.

Any thing you have to share is welcome.
Namaste.
