It really sounds like it's been rough for you. I'm not that far away. I can do things for you or bring you things you need. Feel free to give me a call anytime.
{{{hugs}}} Thank you so much. I have the best damn friends. :wry:: Apparently, Pat, I got myko plasma (spelling?), possibly in an ear infection? And it went to that lovely pneumonia mess. I got... um, 6 days of IV antibiotics, broad spectrum, and 10 days of azithromycin, which I just finished this afternoon. It's been a *bitch*.
Do you have any advice for how to quit coughing? I've still got sinus drip and my poor throat now spasms for anything. I do not want a fresh new infection in there, damn it. Best I've come up with is gargling with salt water, but one has to quit bloody *coughing* to do that....
Maybe ask your doctor about the coughing. There are some heavy duty cough syrups out there.
I don't care for them, they've always given me bad side effects, or really suppressed my breathing. (I have asthma already, I don't need more trouble breathing.)
But my sis takes a cough syrup containing hydrocodone before bedtime. She loves it. She's always had allergies, and it helps keep her from coughing herself awake. With it, she gets a full night's sleep.
Trust me, so'm I! Thank you! I'm hoping it will too. (Chest colds. If I'd had any idea how miserable these are, I'd have fussed even more over my friends than I do....)
I had heard, yes! There are two out there now, and since I've had pneumonia, my insurance will now pay for themt. My doc says he'll send me for the first one in a few months when I'm doing better. Apparently, they ahve to be done six months apart.
I'll have to find out if mine will? Apparently, they don't like to give them to you until you either hit 65 or have pneumonia. {{hugs}}} I wish yours would cover it too!
Oh dear! So sorry for all the woes and bad health. Keeping fingers crossed that the end of the year will treat you both kindly and gently. Take very good care!

I'm glad you're on the road to recovery and hope the fibro stays away and doesn't do a sneak attack.

I hope the fibro behaves, too!

Did you know that there is a pneumonia vaccine out there? Just in case your insurance will let you get it, it might be helpful.
Anyway, glad to hear you are back.
