Keepin away the fever w/ rubbing alcohol, tepid baths.

and hopin for the best!
As some of you know, Ive been really sick for the past month or more. Hoping and praying that because I was told it was viral, time was of the essence, meds wouldnt help, I would have to wait this out... Until my husband threatened me with calling an ambulance the next time I took a 6 hour nap! So I bundled up on Saturday evening and off to the local Walk-in medical clinic in the next town...I had a chest x-ray, a breathing treatment which helped, but gave me the old jitters like I was withdrawling from sumpthin ferotious back in the day...was given an I.V. bag of anti-biotic and something from the dehydration, given the diagnosis of having Acute Bronchial Pnemonia and home I went w/ zithromax anti biotic, prednisone, an inhaler, and a script for cough syrup which Im holding off filling, since Im hoping Ill begin to feel better with everything else.
I havent forgotten anyone, I will take part in the name game and games of tag when Im feeling better. In the mean time Im temporarily disabled. I have an appt. on Friday with my pulmonologist who was contacted while I was at the Walk-In facility. He called me yesterday (on Easter) & told me if I wasnt improved by Friday he wants to admit me. YIKES..... Thems fightin words!!!!we'll have none of that!!!!! Im a horrible patient.... No really...H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E
So I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Celebration and I appreciate and thank you in advance for any and all prayers. Ive got to go slab some more Vicks Vapo rub on the bottom of my feet, I was told that would speed the healing process.....Id do just about anything at this point to feel better and avoid a stay at the "Annie Wilkes Inn"
