Rest

It’s been about a year since I had pneumonia.  It’s made me slightly paranoid, possibly.

Last week I had sinus stuff going on.  It seemed to get better.  By last night I was sure I was maybe getting a cold?  The kids have had colds that they brought home from school.  Today I just have no idea.  Maybe it’s a cold?  Maybe it’s sinuses?

All I know is that I feel horrible.  And as today went on, my temperature keeps going up.

So tonight, I sent an email and did not attend a meeting that I was supposed to be at.  Instead I took a bath with epsom salts and eucalyptus.  I am also going to bed as soon as I finish writing here.

The goal is to NOT get pneumonia again!!  Rest is not my speciality.  But I’m trying.  Last year I didn’t think I did too bad with resting.  It had started as sinus/cold symptoms last year.  It progressed in to a fever that I couldn’t shake.  The fever had me go in to the doctor and finally get that pnemonia diagnosis.

Tonight I am thankful for a chance to rest.  I am trying to get better at this resting stuff!  I can do it!  It seems so silly that this is my goal, to rest and not get pneumonia again . . but it is!
