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.

Blech

I feel like a truck ran over me.  Last week we went to Disney World during our Mardi Gras break.   It was very crowded and people were hacking and coughing all over the place.  I seemed to have picked up an unwanted souvenir from the trip.  I can't catch my breath and am running a fever.  I am truly pitiful.  I hope to be up and running as soon as I can.
