I have recovered from my bacterial infection in my lungs. They take xrays everyday and my lungs are looking clearer. My blood levels have come back to normal. Tomorrow is the big day. I have to give it my very best. I have to show everyone I can breathe on my own! I keep telling myself that I can do it this time! Everyone is giving me a fair chance. The doctors have taken me completely off all drugs. No more morphine, methadone etc. I am looking at my parents and my grandma. I am alert and aware of my surroundings. My mom and dad have spoken to the doctors and have asked that the pulmonologist do not do a bronchoscopy when they pull my breathing tube out tomorrow. In order to do this procedure they would have to sedate me and with sedation comes secretions. I will have a hard time managing my own secretions let alone more of them that the drug would cause. My parents also know that I dont like anything stuck up my nose and having the brocnhoscopy would call for that and I don’t need any more added stress. I want a fair playing field and the doctors have agreed to give me one! 🙂 Gotta get a good night sleep tomorrow is a very big day!
