DH has been with out work for six months and we have no health insurance. A hospital stay is out of the question so they sent me home with two nasty prescriptions - Biaxn 500mg and cough syrup with codeine - yum! My husband is on a job interview so I powered through making him his favorite birthday cake (peanut butter). Will check back in later after more sleep and after drugs wear off or I get used to them. This is so you know if I write something crazy it is the drugs. lol

Will keep you in my prayers, as well as your husband (may God show him favor on his job interview)....there's nothing like the healing hand of God.....blessings Janet

The Doctor heard "Crackles" in my lungs and stressed to take all the medication till finished. Normally I quit when I start to feel better but this time I'm going to behave and take them all. Will have a check up this comming Thursday so I hope the lungs will be clear by then.

Sending Good Luck and get better wishes your way. Terrible to be ill. Rest up in bed a lot as some pneumonias affect your heart !

It was very moist and he was happy that I was able to make it. I feel a small bit of improvement now second day.

Hope you are feeling better you poor thing, I think you should move to Australia, you don't need health insurance here. we have free public hospitals. Being a registered nurse in our public hospital system for 21 years I have become very cynical and I thought our system was very bad but at least people who need to be treated get treated.

Our President is trying to improve the health system here but he keeps hitting road blocks with the other political people he has to go through. I know how socialized health care is in other counties and wished we had it here in the US.

Anita, so sorry to hear this. Hope you get well soon. Try to rest as much as possible, that will help alot. Best of luck for your husbands interview. Hope he passes all the tests. You will both be in my prayers. Hugs yvonne

I'm so sorry you are sick. I pray that you have a speedy recovery. Please rest and take care of yourself. I hope your husband gets the job or another comes along soon.
Hugs, Reva

Thank you. I finally made peace with my medication and got some rest.

Anita, I'm just now seeing this and I hope you are feeling better. The Biaxn really does work. I know personally. I think many of us here have had pneumonia of some degree. I agree with the hospital stay, you don't always get the rest you really need. So take some resting time. It will take a few days for the drugs to do it's job but you will begin to feel better, soon I hope. Will keep you in prayer and also hubby with his job interview. Hugs, Terre

The medication sent me into energizer bunny mode. The feeling of being squeezed and not being let go of is easing up. A couple more days and I should be more normal (whatever normal is) lol.

Sorry to hear you are ill but hope the prescriptions work

They are starting to ease some of my symptons. Thank You . . .

I am so sorry. It is awful to be so sick for so long. Now that you made the peanut butter cake, have a slice and sit down and rest. Hope your husband gets the job. And if you write something crazy it will be a good laugh which we all can use.

He brought home an application so that is a good sign. If he can pass a check with the police and finger printing and a sociological test hopefully they will hire him. They will send him for three days of training if he can get through all the requirements. Meds are making me a bit jittery so down time isn't working out right now. Hopefully can sleep better tonight. Cake is always good just haven't had it yet.

I pray you get better and your husband gets this job. Worries are not good for your health either. Rest, rest and rest again.

Get well soon! I know how you feel! I had pneumonia before and I can have sympathy for you. I think you get better care at home and with less noise and distractions you can sleep better. Rest a lot it helps! Suzanne

Hospital noise, blood pressure checks etc are not good for resting. They really wanted me to have oxygen for a good day as I have asthma but I don't usually have to take anything for it.

Anita, get the rest you need - that is what they would make you do - in the hospital - happy to hear that you still made the peanut butter birthday cake for your DH. What a trooper. Take care of you - that has been the problem, all along here. I will be praying for you.

That is a problem with being a mom and wife - we take care of every one else before take care of ourselfs.
