Still sick...

Okay, this sucks. A week later and I'm still sick. After going to the doctor last Tuesday my cough and pains got considerably worse so I went back to the doctor. This doctor thought I had pnemonia and sent me to emergency for a chest xray and treatment. Several hours in the ER later, I was told I had a lung infection and went home with antibiotics an inhaler and pain killers.

So, for the past week I've been bedridden, hacking away at my lungs, writhing in pain, lungs crackling and gurgling away. Not fun. I'm just up today and doing a few things for the first time in a week. The doctor this morning said I still have fluid on the lungs so for the next few days I'm still supposed to take it easy as I start to heal and get well again.

In the meantime, here's a photo from sunnier days - my sister took this 'awesome' prego picture at the cabin before I got sick. Enjoy!

Maybe instead of running you would be better off swimming. It allows for the boyancy of the body in water to take some of the pressure off.
