Umm...yeah.

So the allergies that turned out to be a cold have now turned out to be borderline pneumonia. What can I say, I like to do things big.

I got drugs from the doctor yesterday. I also discovered that when the cough syrup with codeine says "drink 8 oz of water" DRINK THE WATER! I almost passed out on my roommate last night.

I woke up feeling slightly better this morning, then promptly discovered that was the whole laying down thing that was fooling me. I got as far as walking to the kitchen and back to my room before I was exhausted. This is going to suck mightily.

The upsides of this, lots of time to knit and read comics. The downside, not enough energy to go to the sale today at my favorite yarn store or to the comic book store.

So, here's hoping tomorrow might be a better day and I might make it to the comic book store. Okay, maybe by Monday.

Oh dear. This has been going on for awhile now, hasn't it? Hope things clear up, but pneumonia is nothing to cough at...

This one's been just over a week now and has set up camp. It's going to be another week or so until I'm back to full strength.

That really does sound like it sucks. On the plus side, being exhausted sometimes makes it easier to remain amused while being stuck in bed/on the couch? (The worst for me is the day or so where I'm well enough to be bored, but still too sick to be up and about.)

Many sympathies! Hope you feel better soon!

Yeah. I've been home for a week already and I'll probably have to stay home at least part of next week even if I'm feeling somewhat better. I know from experience that the first day or two of 'better' doesn't mean that my body can handle a full day of work including the trek to and from.

Thanks! I should have a cute new hat by the end of today though. :)

Get lots of rest, C. Having anything in the lungs is tiring as hell. And yes! Drink lots of water and/or Gatorade (the wonderdrink).

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm hoping it doesn't take forever to clear out.

I'm forcing myself to drink as much as possible.

Oh, man, that sucks. :-( *gentle hugs*

Time to marathon a new/old TV show? *wry*

I'm going to catch up on this season of Flash Forward and see where things go from there. :)

This medicine does make me really sleepy though, so that may take awhile.
