The Critters Flu/Pneumonia Crisis, Day Five: I just feel like crap.

[Critters2]

That's pretty much it. I just feel crappy--tired, no appetite, sick of being in the house, feeling like I'm just surrounded by my own germs at this point, still sore throat and chills. Crappy. I've just sent an e-mail to the organizer of the meeting in Des Moines, with the report I would've given if I could go. Got an e-mail back from his wife saying he and the participants who have arrived so far are at the marriage equality demonstration at the capitol. Dammit!! I would love to be there.

But I know the doc was right. I'd be exahusted after minutes at a demonstration.

I'm gonna make some soup.


And then go to bed.

2. Don't mess around with pneumonia

Voice of experience here. The first time I had it, I felt lousy but still thought I'd be okay taking care of the kids, slowly doing things around the house, etc. Within a week, I was in the hospital on oxygen and I was there for a full week.

After that, I got pneumonia twice a year for close to ten years - until I moved to California from New England as a matter of fact - because my lungs were so weakened by that first bout.

Take care of yourself, follow your doctor's orders and get better soon. :hug:

(Oh, and Beagle kisses are very good for any kind of illness)

3. Take your vitamins (especially C and D) and get plenty of sleep
