Settled in Pittsburgh
Hello!
What a great surprise to log on today and see so many wonderful and supportive posts, especially from some long lost friends! (Marybeth, Amber, Ruby... how awesome to reconnect with all of you!)
I am settled at UPMC Montefiore hospital and am just hoping the new IV combination will work and will help me to start feeling better soon. We arrived in Pittsburgh yesterday at 12:30 and were taken right to a room in the ER. I was moved to a hospital room by 3:30, so it wasn't a long wait which was wonderful! The crazy thing is that I am in the same room I was in back in April (It's a "small" hospital).
I have been having a lot of head pain, so hopefully they will be doing an MRI to check my sinuses, though I will not be able to have any kind of sinus surgery until after my transplant. I will feel better just knowing what is causing the pain.
I got a wonderful surprise today. I called to find out what room my friend Julie was in so my parents could stop by and visit her and her mom told me she was discharged on Wednesday and is back at Family House. She was in the hospital exactly one month, a much shorter stay than any of us anticipated. Miracles certainly do happen, she is a living example of this!
Please don't worry about me. I am mentally up and ready to scale this new mountain. With God by my side, there is nothing I can't do!
Love to you all! Nancy
