Excuse Me While I Step Away

First off, I am NOT actually going anywhere - except to bed.

I woke up feeling quite ill yesterday. It was bad enough that I was running what would be considered a fever by normal standards, though I usually run cooler than normal. So, I called my doctor and got an appointment for today.

Not only do I have the flu, I also have a chest infection that is
" bordering on pneumonia." I am now taking antibiotics along with Tamiflu. He also asid that my uvula (the piece of flesh that hangs down in the back of the throat) is extremely inflamed. The quick strep test came back negative, but he sent off a culture to be sure.

I never do anything half way. When I get sick, I get sick!

Lots of rest and lots of liquids are called for, so I am going to heed his warning. The last time I got sick and pushed myself, I ended up in ICU with pneumonia for a week.

I will check my messages as I feel up to it. I will miss reading everyone's blog posts and helping out with questions. Rest assured, I will be back when I feel better.

Best wishes to all of you! Stay well!

Anita

We will be fine, get better and come back soon.

I have no doubt that you will. There are a lot of people here to help that are really good at what they do.

Anita

Rest well, you are doing the right thing. See you when you are 100% and ready to go again.

Wayne

Thank you, Wayne!

Take care and hope you are feeling better soon!

We will miss seeing you on here.

Thank you!

You're getting the same bad cold snap as me Anita. Get well quickly!

I had a bad cold a couple of weeks ago. It might be what left me vulnerable to this. I have Tamiflu and antibiotics now. They will help.

My son's first Special Olympics basketball game is tomorrow and I am going to miss it (well, them..it's an all-day tournament). I know my husband will take lots of pictures and even video, but I still wish I could be there.

That is if it doesn't get canceled. Both Fairfax County and Loudon County have canceled school the last two days because of the weather and tomorrow the conditions will be about the same.

I am so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I hope that you feel better soon.

Anita

Hi Anita, I’m hoping that you feel better very soon. Take care of yourself :)

Thank you, Mia!

Sending you some love and good health - and I'm off to bed too!

For you sweet dreams!

Thank you, Gail! I hope that you slept well.

Got my usual 4 hours!! But on Tuesday I didn't go to bed at all as I had lots to do before school......oops! Oh well - mind over matter!

That will wear you down. You need sleep to function properly.

Hope you feel better soon!

Fae

Thank you, Fae!

Get well soon Anita, you will be back before you know it.

Take care! Caz

I have the Tamiflu which cuts the course of the flu in half. I know I'll feel better soon. As you can see, I am trying to answer some of my notifications when I feel up to it.

Watching re-runs on TV get sold fast and so does watching kid's cartoons all day (my son's school canceled today because the wind chills were below zero up until afternoon). We get cold here, but nearly ever this cold, so a lot of kids don't have the clothing necessary for weather like this.

Thank you for your well wishes! I appreciate it!

Good to hear you are resting up, I know what you mean about watching TV re-runs, you can only watch so many.

I can't imagine how you guys are coping with the extreme weather, I have been watching it on the news, just pray it improves soon.

All the best and keep warm.

Take care of yourself. You can't let yourself get run over by the flu or pneumonia. These are serious issues . Good luck Scott

Thank you for your kind wishes. I do take them seriously. I have an immune system disorder (CVID) which leaves me susceptible to things like this and I know that if I over-do things, I will end up in the hospital.

Lots of fluids and the Tamiflu and antibiotics the doctor gave me along with Thera Flu and lots of rest. And an infusion on Monday which will boost my immune system (it is the treatment for my CVID).

Anita

Get well. We will still be here. I will anyways. Feel better soon.

Thank you, Xavier!
