I've fallen and I couldn't get up....

Posting for Sunday, November 11, 2012

I had slept like 14 hours and got up in the morning on Sunday to go to the bathroom and I fell.  I thought of Clara Peller "Ive fallen and can't get up." Only I wasn't laughing, I was crying.  I am not sure what happened to me, I guess because of my weakness. 

I have had this crud since Wednesday, the 7th.  I had originally been getting sick since November 5th only I didn't realize it til the night of the 6th.  I went back to bed and slept a couple more hours and I had already decided that if I was still feeling puny I was going to the ER.  When I make the decision to the go the ER you know I am SICK!  Trust me I am sick!  I feel AWFUL.

Spent about 3 hours at Deaconess Gateway, they toyed with keeping me.  The doctor I saw had NO bedside manner but he did every test known to make sure I didn't have full fledged pneumnia, he listened to my symptoms, examined me and at the end decided to send me home but he is keeping me off one more week to stay in bed, take my 3 new meds and try to get better.  Let me tell you once I am over this crud, I will take more vitamins whatever it takes for this not to happen to me again for a very long time! 

I feel like crap!  Going to go lie down.  I appreciate the kind emails, texts and offers to drop things off.
