Well, on Monday I was so ill that I broke down and drove myself to the doctor. Since I am worried about passing this along to Jack, I left him at home and drove myself.
The doctor did a full exam and Xrays and pronounced me a bit crazy to have stayed home sick for 4 weeks before getting in to see him.
The diagnosis is that although he’s sure it probably started as the flu, I now have Pneumonia. Yes, and a pretty bad case of it.
I was chastised and sent home with three prescriptions. An antibiotic, a pill for the cough, and an inhaler.
I was so exhausted after my trip out, that I came home and went almost immediately to bed.
I can tell all the medications are trying to work, but I am wiped out and coughing up a lung or two.
So, I will keep warm, keep drinking my tea and hopefully, I will be on my feet again soon. Meanwhile, almost all my Christmas shopping has been done online! I am really happy about that!
I assumed you had seen a doctor. Naughty Maribeth. You must look after yourself better.
Ugh, pneumonia. Been there, done that. Take care, I hope you feel better soon.
That’s not good! Get well soon.
Hugs and prayers you feel better soon. You have been through enough this year as we all have. Stay warm and safe.
