Pneumonia????

Well this time I did not hurt myself that left a scare anyway.  It started with a cough and head cold and it moved to my chest.  At which point I saw a doctor.  He gave me some injections and meds to take.  After a round of that I waited another week and the cough was still bad. Went back to the doctor were he gave me another round of meds and injections. And just to be clear when I say injections I mean IV my hand attached to a needle filled with meds that he pushed into my over a very very short period of time. Also during that second round I broke out in a rash all over my back. The meds I was given the second time did not seem to be helping I was referred to a specialist. He ordered blood work and a chest x-ray (I have the x-ray to prove it, you get to keep them here). He found that I have an infection. So put me on more meds and two inhalers.  This all happened over the course of a month. Half that time I was on my own. Then David and Diane came which helped a lot to have someone around and to give me some rest. I made it through the last few days of school with the kids and rested when I could.  I am finally feeling almost back to myself all but my body recovering and being tired.

But all things considered all is well. With the kids off on break I am looking forward to a different change in pace.
