Hopefully this'll be a short stay until they figure out some antibiotics then home again.

Starting to feel like a lab "rat", I'll bet. Hopefully they'll figure out which little critter in there is causing all the problems so they can kill it. Then you'll be out causing more trouble again.
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Hope you feel better soon and escape back home. I am desperately trying to avoid going in myself at the moment. My lung disease has really flared up again and I've got an eosinophillic pneumonia where my own body is now attacking my lungs again. So I we may soon be sending messages to each other with us both in hospital.

Ratty,
Good luck. And whatever it takes to heal it this time, that's what you gotta do.
Luckily this internet stuff can keep you occupied wherever you are.
Best,
Gordon

Keep hanging in there Ratty, I am still holding out at home at the moment, am quite reliant on oxygen at the moment, though, D-Day on Wednesday am having CT Scan to check on my growths in my lungs - The steroids I need to treat the eosinophillic pneumonia mean that my growths are more likely to grow again. Talk about rock and a hard place!

Maybe you oughta just stay there for a while, relax a bit. Kick back, shoot the shit with the other sicko's. I'll have some pizzas n' beer brought in. Maybe watch a movie or two. Why you always so sick all the time? You some kinda sissy? Come on kiddo, let's man up a bit. No son o' mine should be so dang wussified.
GET WELL SOON!

Rattis and Jules,
I am keeping you both in my prayers, storming the gates of heaven...
This gig of being a professional patient sucks.
