Sure hope Beck is alright. No post op complications?

Maybe her cat overlords found her and took away her phone? 😉

I’m glad Beck has medical care readily available. Isolation in a care facility has its advantages right now.

She last posted at 1:25 this morning (central daylight time) in thread games (Gimme 3 last names).

Perhaps she overslept.

Hey, guys. I’m back in the Hospital. I had a glucose kerfuffle. And some breathing difficulty. They sent me back over for testing. My blood chemistry has settled down. I’ve had xrays and an MRI.  
I have some upper respiratory problem. Coughing. So back on IV fluids and Antibiotics.

**I’ve been tested for COVID**.  
Have you?

Wouldn’t that require her to sleep? It’s not one of her strong suits.

I don’t normally wish negative things on people, but in your case, I hope your test comes back negative.

Knock off the theatrics, Lady! Leave that nonsense to the Meezers!

Did you get your staples out? Will you just go home from the hospital? (please, Gawd!)

I hope your doctor signed you up for the tour plan with EDIBLE food!

(Don’t forget to steal the TP when you are discharged!)

Yes, **~VOW** , the space man came through :smack:. He was in full hazmat gear.:eek: But I’m not in an isolation room. The hospital’s on lockdown, so…there’s that. No visitors.  
I’m fine. I do have an infection. It’s being addressed.  
Aside from the food, I’m being well cared for.  
My staples are coming out today.  
I will be pushing to go home. We’ll see.  
I have lots of stairs at my house. I’m not sure I can manage that yet.

Of course not! I’m 65, with bad lungs, and live in a nursing home. There’s no reason to test me. :rolleyes:

I’m self-isolating.

Infection? Boo! Hiss!

Drink more water! Pee lots and lots! You probably have one of those little “hats”:in the bathroom, so you can measure every time you go!

Make sure you request asparagus on your menu selection!😛

Be a good kid. The Meezers need Mommy home “meow.”

I self-test.

If I still think about it after a 12-pack, I’ve got it.

So far, so good!

Get better Beck, your physical therapist misses you. 😉

I’m glad you got prompt medical diagnosis & care. Last night must have been scary for you and your family. Take care of yourself and know that your friends here on SDMB worry about you.

I’d send you _ **hugs** _ but Coronavirus protocol says I shouldn’t get closer than 4 ft. My arms aren’t that long. 😉

Whoops! Sorry about the setback, Beck!

But glad that your doctors seem to be on top of it.

No Staples holding me together anymore.  
No COVID on board.  
Doctor was reassuring.

Feeling perkier.
