Hello to all you who light up my life!
Thanks for the many good wishes..still sick but improving a bit.
I think the Prednisone is helping..thank goodness it's only prescribed for 5 days.
I don't want to gain weight from it.
I miss not being able to use the treadmill but have no energy for it yet.

It's windy as heck but we had the shutter repaired finally from the last wind damage.

I am such a neat freak and my house is suffering with me being such a sickie!

Hubby is still sick..been in bed all day and that is so unusual for him.

More home made veggie soup tonight.
Thank God I made it a few days ago.

Stay healthy-more when I feel up to it.

Love and hugs.

WHAT A DAY!
I went back to Urgent Care-he was concerned since the chest still has lots of congestion
and wheezing
He sent me to the ER where they took more chest x-rays, EKG and blood work up.
Still no pneumonia but bronchitis with bronchial spasms..mercy!

I am now on prednisone for 5 days and I hope that will do the trick and end all this mess.
I had 2 breathalizer treatments at the ER-concern about my breathing.
I need to use my inhaler every 4 hours and I will do that.
I think poor hubby feels worse than I do!
He has a temp.tonight.
I tried my best to get him to the doc today
but men are like babies when ill! Stubborn!

Please say a small prayer for both of us.

Love to all and stay healthy!

HI!
Today has been a little better.
I made a pot of veggie soup this morning..and have not been in bed all day.
Hubby is now..he still feels awful!

It's sunny here but cold.
I am tempted to throw caution to the winds and go for a walk!
We shall see.
I watch in dismay, the people being slaughtered in Syria
WHY AREN'T WE DOING SOMETHING TO HELP??????

It's all so sad and so disgusting.

Take care and stay healthy.
I need to stir my soup.

Love and hugs..

Hello-posts will be brief till I am over this mess!
Coughing has let up a bit and I did sleep well last night except for having a terrible dream.
We can't win them all!

It's been snowing all day but little is sticking.
I want to get better and get out of here!

Tonight, I'm eating a normal dinner-or I will soon turn into eggs, soup and toast!

Hubby still feels yucky too..we are a couple of messes!

Stay healthy!

Hello to my friends!
Today has been another rough day but a bit better than yesterday.
Doc's report on x-ray-- bronchitis but no pneumonia..thank God.

I'm resting most of the time and letting it take it's course.
Getting a bit sick of the soft diet stuff, but it could be worse.
Hubby finally decided I couldn't cook so he made his own dinner--pork chops, spinach, etc.
A man can cook if he is hungry enough! *LOL*

I'm also sick of using dry shampoo on my hair and may attempt to do it by Thursday..hopefully!

I want to thank my friends and family for their good wishes-much appreciated.

Nothing else going on, so no news!

Love and hugs..stay healthy!
A HINT: If you think you are coming down with a cold, get ALKA-SELTZER PLUS!
It'll knock it out if you get it early.
I didn't do that and should have!

Hi once again!

Here we go again..another cloudy day-how nice it would be to see the sun!

I would love to be on a beach somewhere (we lived in Myrtle Beach, SC-twice.)
I missed the mountains and seasonal changes so here we are in the Shenandoah Valley.

I do love it here-even love the snow.

It's a small town with loads of history.

I want a place at the beach and here too-
now, is that too much to ask??? *LOL*

I hear the Union people are planning on disrupting Super Bowl Sunday-there could be blood shed by someone.
True football fans will not stand for that-I don't blame them!

Why can't people just live and let live?????

I will watch anxiously-and hope for the best.

Stay healthy now and take good care of yourselves.
This nasty cold is hanging on and on!
