Sick

I wanted to apologize to my followers for not posting. I have been very sick. I thought it was just a cold. I have asthma and any cold can last longer or become more serious than it would normally - so I didn't worry much at first. I just kept getting worse though. I don't have a local doctor either. When we moved here I had problems finding one because they saw the fibromyalgia and then the asthma and ... well they just saw a complicated case that would take up too much time and that sort of thing. Plus all people with pain issues are addicts so I was a lawsuit risk. {grrr} But that's a rant for another day.

I was sick enough to be running a fever of 101 and not have enough energy to move. My chest felt like it had iron bands around it - stopping me from taking a full breath. I coughed so hard it felt like I pulled the muscles in my neck and chest. My stomach was sore afterward. At that point I was too miserable to go anywhere or do anything.

Then I started feeling a little better - though I still had a painful and productive cough. My husband wanted me to go in, but I thought I was getting better. I still got tired easy, but my fever was lower and I only had one half the time. I thought I could do it on my own. Now, here we are ... weeks from the beginning of this. I don't have a fever and my energy is better but I still have a cough. It isn't as bad though - though it has moments. Hopefully that means I really am on the mend this time and not just fooling myself because I don't like going to the doctor. ;o)

I have a been reading - so I have a couple books to share with you. I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry for not keeping up with your blogs or adding to mine. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
