New Mone Yuh
Well, it's official. I should listen to William more often. He's been saying since saturday "you really should go see Dr. Adams about your cough." So I called in sick to work today, after not sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG, (I even tried sleeping on the couch, to no avail." I was expecting Dr. Adams to say "congratulations kylie, you have a cold and your asthma is flaring up." What he said instead was "Ew, you sound awful, ever had pneumonia before?" I explaine that yes, I've had it a grand total of 4 times, and he told me to make this #5. Official diagnosis - Left Lower Lobe Pneumonia. I now feel like walking pharmacy after a shot of antibiotic in my backside, a prescription for Zithromax for an antibiotic, Prednisone (a steroid for my asthma which has definatly flared with this) and Phenergan with Codeine cough syrup so I can sleep at night. I am grateful for so many things this week - first and foremost a wonderful, sweet husband who does everything he can to help me feel better, including buying me "Puffs with Aloe Vera" tissues for my red, sore nose; cleaning the kitchen, and brining me drinks of water at night when i cough. I'm also thankful for Dr. Adams who doesn't treat me like an idiot or a hypochondriac. And I'm thankful for my mom who poured out the sympathy for me and offered to bring Will and I dinner tomorrow night. I am blessed by so many other people - I couldn't do it without them!

We missed you at work today, but I'm also glad you went to see Dr. Adams. I was "on the verge" of Pneumonia last week and Dr. Cheyne put me on Zithromax. I'm slowly getting better, and was back to work today. That's a nasty bug going around. Get well soon!
Ky I'm so sorry. You really seem to get it all don't you? Hope you feel better soon!
silly girl.don't you know husbands know all? I hope you feel better soon. Wish I were there to bring in a meal too.
