Walking Pneumonia
So. You may be wondering if I abandoned my xanga.Nope, not exactly. I have pictures from my graduation, which went fabulously. Of course hubby was taking the video and ran out of disc just as they called my name — Murphy strikes again! I was kind of panicked
about making it in time. But in the end it went just fine.
I was sick the week prior, and then did too much work around the house and had a relapse. Then was Mother’s day, then graduation. That meant two days on Oahu, while we were there we did some shopping — got a whole bunch of stuff from my college bookstore, and stuff from the BX. I have some great pics — I’ll post them later.
Upon our return I was feeling poorly again. REALLY poorly. I continued to get more ill. By Friday I had been running a temp for two weeks averaging 100.5. I went to the Dr. and he was kind of enough to diagnose me with walking pneumonia. Fun. I must admit, I’ve never felt that sick. I was so weak that just getting up to fix lunch wore me out and I had to rest for 20 minutes. Needless to say, I’m way behind my moving schedule! I am finally feeling better, although still weak and still running a temp. Hopefully that we be gone soon. I’m done with my antibiotics, but they will still be working for another 5 days or so ( I got that awesome antibiotic Z-pac). Tomorrow they come to pick up the hold baggage. It’s also hubby’s last day of work. As he said today 7,800 down, 1 to go. Next Tuesday they come for the rest of the stuff. The countdown gets shorter and my time gets more and more precious. So please excuse me if I’m posting irregularly, and not getting to everyone ones site and visiting. I’ll try to keep up, but no guarantees.Right now I’m exhausted, did a lot today, and this is only the second day I’ve been up and around. I’m ready for bed!
I’ll be around to visit everyone tomorrow.

i’m so sorry you have been so sick……i’m glad you finally when to the doctor! i hope the packing and stuff is going well…i hate moving. but it is a good time to get rid of some excess stuff.

Prayers for a smooth move and that you feel better fast! You’ve got a lot on your hands right now…
I’m sorry you’ve been sick! :sicky: Hope you’re feeling better!

:sicky:sorry that you have been sick and what a time to get sick! hope ya get better soon and hope the move goes great for ya!
My goodness, you poor thing! This cold and flu season has been one of the worst, with the majority of people getting bronchitis which goes into pnuemonia if not treated quickly, I know this from first hand experience, since 3 out of 6 of us ended up with the stuff, and by the way, we all started with Z-pack, but ended up having to go on two more antibiotics to get rid of it, the last one being Cipro! This is nasty stuff and hangs on for ever, so be careful, if you aren’t 100% by the 4th day after the Zpack you should go back in and see the MD for another antibiotic, just an FYI.
So, exactly when do you depart Maui?….and when will you be in CA, we would love to see you all and host a BBQ at our place, could even offer a guest room if needed (we are 2 short miles from Disneyland!….LOL
Well what a nice Dr. NOT:big-smile:. I am so sorry you have been ill or so long. That is truly a bummer. Yay or hubby and one more day. That must be awesome but strange all at the same time.
RYC: That would be awesome. Maybe we can head to Reno for a day too. :celebrate:
Sorry to learn you’ve been sick, but glad your better.
Prayers to help you feel better……………..hugs too.
i have heard of really old people getting pnumonia in all weather but i thought psnumonia was mostly only visiting people in the winter months when it was cold. i do hope you feel better soon. i hate being sick. curl up with a blanket and watch some of those movies you’ve missed out on and have a good old time.
Sorry to hear how sick you were. I’ll be praying for you. Congratulations on your graduation! Look forward to seeing the pictures.
I hope your moving goes great for all of you. Try and get some rest too :sleepy:
Take care hugs
