Pneumonia... really?
A few weeks ago I got a really bad headache. It's been kind of an annoyance because I feel like I get headaches that last for quite a number of days frequently now. Then I started to get a cough the next week. I had four church meetings in a row last week so I was busy all day and evening. It must have put my body's immune system in overdrive because by the following Monday evening I was sick enough to go to the Instacare before spending yet another night tossing and turning while coughing in fitful sleep. After the doctor checked my breathing and took a couple of chest x-rays, I found out that I did indeed have pneumonia. Wow. That's really weird to get pneumonia in the summer when it's 95 degrees and sunny outside. Well, now I'm taking a wonderful dose of antibiotics that I'm trying really hard to keep in my body each day and using 2 daily inhalers to breathe. It's not fun and I hope I never get it again. I thought the flu was bad, but this is much worse. My neighbors have been great... bringing amazing meals and letting Addie come over to their homes for play dates since I'm pretty much stuck in bed or on the couch. I'm starting to feel better little by little, but I'm reminded of just how much my body is working each and every time I stand up to do anything. I guess that means I should be able to get a lot of blogging done in the next little while. Meanwhile... Addie is telling her doll that she is in timeout and that she did "a big no-no" - something that Addie has heard plenty of times from Mommy! Thank goodness my kids are alternating nap times today so I basically only have one child at a time!
