I am SICK of being sick!  Three times since the end of January I have had a rotten upper respiratory THING!  I am really sick of this.  I’m glad to say that I am overcoming the last cough that hit a couple of weeks ago.

My stepson brought the cough into the house.  I don’t know for sure if he is who passed it on to Dear Husband, but the odds are good.  DH presented the infection very oddly, and it took almost a week before I forced him to go to the doctor.  By that time he had developed pneumonia.  Luckily, it was just starting, so we were able to treat it at home.

When we returned to the medical center two days later, so that the doc could see DH, he had me go out to the lobby and sign in as a patient.  I had it, too.  I was not a good patient.  I was crabby as hell, and really irritated that my stepson wouldn’t go and get some help for the cough.

Dear Husband and I were on a nebulizer for close to a week, antibiotics, steroid inhalers, and cough suryp. I have a second inhaler to use as this winds down.  And, you know what happens when you are on an antibiotic.  I’m being treated for that little problem now, too.

If you are sick, STAY AWAY FROM ME!  I want to spend the rest of May and June enjoying my gardens and learning to breathe again.
