Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Hi , Thanks for the wishes and kind words. I think I caught this before the pneumonia really set in, but my doc said there was rattling in my lungs. After 4 days on a Z pack, I really don't feel any better, and had a low-grade fever today, which I haven't before. So I'll be calling tomorrow. I was very good, though, and stayed down all weekend. I've slept more this past week than I have in the month before, even with being on 45mg pred. That in itself told me something wasn't right. This, I hope, will serve as a lesson to everyone, and a reminder to take care not to pick up these bugs and let 'em gitcha, like I did. I tried to do too many of the things I had done six months ago, and landed right where I was six months ago, very ill. So it's back on the mend, and looking still for that happy medium of being able to do things, but not too much. I know - patience is a virtue - and it feels like one I really need to focus on to keep me well. , you always sound very well grounded and have a calm, secure quality about you. Have you always been this way, or has your illness put things in a different perspective for you? If you would be willing to share, I'd be interested to hear, as I'm sure some of the others would, your thoughts on that. I hope this finds you feeling well, and that you are enjoying your time and your treasures! With love and caring thoughts, Carol G Get Well Carol G.
