I have had so many folks asking me what was going on with my health. So here is the story in short form lol..... I would be doing great then 3 days after feeling great the fevers would return. Then about 3 or so weeks ago. All of my joints were swelling and hurting extremely bad. I was told that I had got rheumatoid arthritis from the bacterial pneumonia. Then to top that off. The joints started feeling better. But all the water was causing my feet & ankles to fill up with water. Its called Edema. Next they decided on doing a CT Scan versus a regular x-ray on my chest. I went in to see what the CT Scan had to say or show. My DRs Assistant said that I could have cancer he wasnt sure. So I waited 4 days at his request so that he could consult with a cancer Dr. and a Lung Dr. I went back into see the DRs assistant to get the results. He told me he didnt have time in the 4 days to get with the cancer Dr. or the Lung Dr. I was very upset about his very poor Dr. Skills. Finally I started acting like I was 50 instead of 15 and demanded some information. He got me in to see the Lung Dr. It took about 5 or so more days of waiting wondering if I had cancer. The Lung Dr. asked to hear the entire story of what happened. He told me flat out. I do not have cancer. I again had the worse bacterial pneumonia he had seen. All of the joint issues were part of it so it isnt rheumatoid arthritis. Its just edema. My Feet and ankles are slowly getting better. I am getting better everyday. I have never been so scared in all of my life. Wondering if my time was coming soon. So I am very happy now that God took care of me. As well as all the prayers the family & friends did for me. Its funny that you dont really know who are your family & friends until something like this happens. I hope to be just getting back to normal everyday.. what ever normal is lol.... Much Love & Many Air Hugs from Robert Riley Elliott.
