I had to call the doctor, I was not improving with a week of rest. Total rest, doing so little, barely walking outside.
Dr. Sheila saw me today. I have Bacterial Bronchitis. My oxygen level is low and I never, never have a bad oxygen level, even with my bad heart.
MY BP is very low, she said that was worrisome as when most people get sick the BP goes up and mine went down. 98/64.
I have lost two more pounds since my last visit in her office. (this is a good thing, I want to lose 5 more, that is it)
I am now on antibiotics and a good codeine cough medicine. Hope it keeps me down a while. (Lets me sleep more than 30 minutes at a time, before a coughing spell wakes me.)
No Ken, your babies did not give it to me. It was the school rooms. Dr. Sheila agrees that is the worse place for an elderly person. (Now everyone can laugh as we know I am NOT elderly).
Maybe next week I can get back to my regular self. I do not like this lying around all time.
Tonight I did something we have never done. I knew I would not feel up to cooking and I wanted pasta. David hates pasta or at the very least does not like it, (Maybe hate was too strong a word.)
So I ordered soup, bread sticks and one dish from Olive Garden. We shared. It was so good. I was hungry for soup. As anyone that reads my blog knows we are not eat out people. We do not trust anyone else for cooking and cleanliness. But Olive G sounded so good, and I could pick it up after seeing my Doctor.
Tomorrow I plan on waking up feeling like a new person. I am!! Just you wait and see.
He maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures,
He leadeth me beside the stillwaters.
Psalms 23:1-2

OH mom, that's no fun. Now, get some rest! It will take a day or two to show improvement!
Feel better fast! I don't know man all the boys woke up this am with runny noses. It's makin the rounds lol.
I hope you feel better, Sue. But give resting a few days, and don't rush it. But I know you're impatient. I hate being sick. Everyone does.
Hugs and prayers,
Renie
