I found out who was driving the truck that hit me...

It was Mr. Pneumonia.  Yes kids...that is why I am feeling so yuck.  Sunday night I was just not feeling any better.  I started to worry that maybe I had 2 things going on (1) a cold to account for the coughing, congestion, and fever; and (2) another pulmonary embolism (I have had two other episodes of those lovely things). I knew that going in to see the Dr. would not tell me about the clot without needing to go to the hospital to get the tests run, so I decided to go ahead to the ER.  Well, since I am on a blood thinner "for life", a clot was ruled out.  My chest x-ray did show pneumonia. After 3 fun filled days in the hospital, I am so happy to be home.  I am still out of breath and coughing, but I am feeling a little better.  

Things might be a little slow around here while I am getting back up to speed, but I plan to check in often.

Rose Works- Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Lin- Yes, that was the souvinir. I can't find the mouse ears on it tho...

Nancy- I am feeling better today. I don't get out of breath when I sit in one place and I can deal with my computer addiction at the same time.

Thank you ladies for thinking of me.
