Pneumonia
 

I was admitted to hospital with pneumonia last Saturday (boxing day) and came out of hospital yesterday. I still feel weak and I constantly want to sleep :(.

I was wondering if any one here has had pneumonia before and how long it took to recover properly?..

Never had it but I hope you get better soon Sophie :(

Sorry about that, my Gran died of it.

Hope you are ok :hug:

aww,hope You get better soon Sophh :kiss:

my sister and my friend had it. My friend got better after about a week and a half. Not sure about my sister. Hope you feel better soon though!

Aw thanks to you all :)

And InOne- I'm so sorry about your Gran :hug:

I had it in 2007, it was only mild but they never discovered it for about 6 months

Jesus Sophie, get well soon. Morriston I'm assuming you were unless Singleton do it down there.

The way it goes my dear, but if one person survives from it, i'm happy :)

Just your body's way to get better - lots of sleep!

My son was admitted to hospital on Christmas Eve several years ago when he was 2 - but an intravenous course of antibiotics worked so well - they let him come home on Christmas Day. He went from being really listless pre-admittance to hospital - to running around the ward the next day after treatment.

You are young and healthy - you will be fine! :thumbs:

youre a nurse, yeah?
:)

Will be in 3 months!

I'd feel safe with you, you seem like you know your stuff!!! Good luck with it all

Thanks! Got mixed feelings - want to qualify of course - but know the first 6 months will be tough. Everyone dreads it!

Awww Soph sorry to hear that hun! Hope you get better soon :hug:

Indeed, quite a big thing to go into really

I know someone
who had it,
and after the Hospital took all the Drugs
and now Fit as ever.

I think the weak bits go after a week or 2
I assume you have a Doctor to keep a eye on you.

So keep taking the meds
follow what the Doctor tells you
and you should be back to normal soon.

They can take time , in some cases.

That's what I keep being told.. but I feel like I've done nothing but sleep the past week! They told be that I can't work for a few weeks which sucks, though I do work in a school and I'd have to be on the go all the time!

Aww bless your son, glad he was fine after! And all the best in qualifying as a nurse :)

edit: Ross, I was in Morriston :P

I'll miss all the student holiday time though! Approx 3 months a year plus lots of study weeks. Used to having all the school holidays off. Losing that will be hard.

Haha indeed, are you like full time Uni then?

3 days a week! That's enough! I guess I will miss it though! Easier than the wards!

Indeed, well i'm sure the money will be better, and the experience.

aw, cool :thumbs:
good luck with it!
you will make a great nurse, :D

Aw - that's nice! Thanks Courtney!
