I'm always slow to go to the doctor. I don't feel I want to "bother" them with something minor, so unless I've broken something or feel like I'm dying, I tend to wait too long.
And then I get to the doctor and they're all like why didn't you come in sooner?
And I'm all like Hey, I was just trying to help you out Doc!
Well, the day before Easter I started to feel wonky and knew something was coming on. By the day after Easter I couldn't stay out of bed.
I'd get up, get dressed and lay right back down (with wet hair, so that always makes for a comfy nap).
After that it all went downhill and I was lucky to get my teeth brushed and a pair of clean underwear each day.
So, on Friday I finally drug myself to the doctors office.
And it appears that I have pneumonia. The big P.
So now I am on antibiotics and cough medicines and something I shoot up my nose.
I can tell you that the cough medicine made me feel well enough this morning to hunt out one of my vintage planters to store my pneumonia stuff in.
So if I give one rat's butt about having cute medicine, then I must be on the upswing, right?
OK, I'm rolling over and going back to sleep. I promise I'll blog about something more interesting the phlegm next time.

I hope you are on the mend, Pam. I can't imagine it's very easy to really take care of yourself with all the special attention your son needs for his own care. Please know that I'm thinking of you. I'm really behind on blog reading. Hugs!

It takes a village 🙂 My worst days were on the weekend, so my husband was home from work and could watch my son while I passed out. I think that's the first time in 17 years that I've actually just laid in bed all day.

Hope today finds you feeling better.
No fun having the BIG "P!"
Take care of yourself and follow those Dr's orders.

Oh no Pam! I have had pneumonia and it is not fun. Take it easy and don't push yourself. Rest is the key! Sending you smiles! 🙂

I believe this is #3 for you in terms of health issues!! W/O a review of each blog entry for the year......you had an ankle issue-arm issue-and now Pneumonia!! You are done! One only gets 3 per year and your allotment has been filled! The rest of 2016 should find you in the best of health so you rest up and get totally well and look forward to your coming year of optimum good health and good fortune (ie good junk)!!

My mom always used to say that. Bad things come in threes! And yes you are right - arm, ankle and now pneumonia, so I am due for a good healthy run. I swear, before this year the biggest thing that happened to me was having a baby 17 years ago!
Aimee
Yeah, I get it! Be glad there aren't a lot of garage sales right now!
Get well soon
Pam
I know!!! I did miss a boatload of estate sales this weekend, but I"m saving my money for garage sale season anyhow!
