getting over pneumonia

twinmaker · Apr 11, 2007

I haven't been posting much, but I've been jumping on line every now and then. This pnuemonia can really knock you on your can. I can't remember feeling this bad since my last OHS. Believe me, I will run to the doctor when I start to cough instead of taking the old "wait and see" attitude. I have no strength and the doc says it will take a good month to get to feeling somewhat normal again. I'm thankful that I don't work outside the house and am able to just lay in bed and sleep. I go back to the doc in three weeks for another chest x-ray. Our daughter is going to be induced on May 23rd so I have to be in shape to help with a new baby. LINDA

I hope you feel better soon, Linda! You'll need your strength for that new baby! Best of luck.

Hi Linda - Glad to hear from you. I hope you'll be feeling much better soon. Sorry I don't remember but is this your first grandchild? Take care.

I hope you continue to take it easy, Linda. Pneumonia is a tough disease, so don't push your recovery. You'll be ready by the time May 23 rolls around.
