i think i will live

This has been worse than and case of pneumonia i have ever had, it's been a deeeep chest cold, wracking my body with coughs. I ache from the coughing my throat is sore from the coughing....I haven't slept in days, it's just naps and I wake up in fits of coughing. my poor birds think mommy has died. I have gotten up, empty litter pans for them, washed their dishes and fed them but that has been it. I have felt like I've been on death's door for days now. I'm finally coughing stuff up and I'm starting to feel human again! WOOHOO. Gabby is here giving me snuggles. Gosh I have missed my guys n gals!

Ugh! I have had pneumonia several times, it's horrible. I was hospitalized once. Listen, you will feel better, but it is a long time before you get your strength back. Take care of yourself and lots of fluids.

Oh gosh! I am so sorry you have been so ill! I am glad that you are feeling a bit better.

I myself have tried to stay away from sick people -- we had a couple of people, here at work, who's kids have had the Swine Flu....I have a great bit bottle of Germ-X on my desk and I make sure that everyone that comes in my office uses it!

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm near the point of calling my doc... because the 'gunk' seems to be getting a little worse and it's not clearing (yet). Hope you're back to yourself soon!

I feel your pain- I've been coughing so hard I've pissed myself a couple of times lately! Hopefully we'll all be back to normal soon.

Poor thing! Try to take it easy. Nice that your coworkers care so much. Hugs and whatever else helps you get through this. The babies will be there when you feel better and you'll be back to being a slave to them soon enough.
