Even though until Saturday night I was, I thought, winning the battle with this thing it caught up with me over the weekend. By Monday morning I gave in and headed out to see Dr. J. Pneumonia, he says. I am now taking Levaquin and a heavy duty cough suppressant.....and feeling really crappy! The worse part of it is that my body is aching from lying down! Now how dumb is that?!!!! Miss Molly is hovering and doing her best to comfort me - while lying on me, of course!
I actually missed my first TOPS meeting today since I took over being the leader. Since I have been told this stuff is *highly* contagious I felt it best to stay away. I am also missing my "class" lunch this month because of it (it was scheduled for today too!).
I am pumpling fluids and trying to eat regularly - though my food choices are probably not especially good for my 'diet'! I bought some Cozy Shack tappioca and rice puddings to eat!!!!
I don't think I've ever had pneumonia before. Bummer. The one other time I thought I had it, it turned out to be blood clots in my lungs right after the accident I had years ago.
But on the more pleasant side of things........ our snow is all gone and the temps are pushing 50 during the day right now. Today it is even a bright sunny day!! That makes looking out the window a welcome sight!

You are loved ~~ far more than you may ever know!

Well, my cold turned into bronchitis & a sinus infection. After 2 weeks I gave in and went to the convenient care clinic. Antibiotics & an inhaler should do the trick. The clue was my extreme fatigue. Not just being lazy, but hardly enough energy to walk around the house some times. I did have spell when I felt good enough to run an errand, but that would lead me to laying around the rest of the day. I know what you mean about aching from laying around. I've had to prop myself up on the sofa at night and even with good pillows, my poor body was bent in positions it didn't like.
At least I'm not missing any great weather - our temps are back in the mid 40s for the weekend and some rain expected.
