I had a doctors appointment today and got great news. I am now as good as new, lung wise that is. I still have to let my immune system build itself back up and I have to get my kidney stone taken care of.
What a relief. I have done a lot of reading on endocarditis and ARDS and a lot of folks who have ARDS don't make it and if they do they don't get back to normal. I know how lucky I am and I intend to live my life like I should have been doing all the years before I got sick.
I have noticed one thing, when you find out you almost died everything seems a little sweeter. By this I mean, my kids laughter, my husband's voice, watching my kids playing, hearing stories about my nieces and waiting for my nephew to be born. All the things I used to worry about no longer bother me. They just don't seem important any more.
