No picture today....sorry!

I have been battling some kind of upper respiratory "issue" for weeks now....started late November / early December when I was in the handbell concert. I kept myself on Day-Quil and Ny-Quil so I could get through that. I presumed I had a cold and it would work itself out in a week or so. It has progressed to a bad post-nasal drip and horrid cough that won't quit. I was, like most of us, "too busy" to do anything about it and now it is really catching up with me. While I made it through all the church music and Christmas day (and the snowstorm in NJ by the daughter's last weekend), I am really very worn down and not feeling well at all. I suspect this has become either a sinus infection or bronchitis...and am hoping it's not pneumonia. So please forgive me that I must delay the posts I wanted to make....telling about our church music on Christmas Eve and about Christmas day. I'm just not up to that kind of posting and getting photos embedded in the post, etc. If I don't have a miraculous recovery by tomorrow morning, I do need to see the doctor as I am not getting any better and have steadily gotten worse. I'll post as I can as I do have some fun things to tell you....but they have to wait. I hope all of you are well and happily enojoying a nice Christmas weekend.

I can't tell you to rest and take care, cuz I'm feeling the same. I just keep going on, and then crash. Got my humidifier going in the bedroom. I don't want this going into bronchitis, like you. And who has time for this?
Cough, Cough, sniff, snort, yuck.
How about a nice hot tody? Oh, it is a bit early for that. Oh, well.

Sorry to hear that you are 'under the weather'. (I wonder where that phrase originated) You need to go see a doctor. It sounds as if you are a bit like me. I wait and wait before I see a doctor and then they tell me that I am already on my way to recovery!! Still, you must be feeling really dreadful, so make an appointment and go!

So sorry to hear that you're ill. I know you're taking care of yourself, because you can't do anything else when you feel so rotten. It sounds like you need to see a doctor and really find out what's wrong. Take care.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling badly. Might not be such a bad idea to schedule an appointment today. The doctors that are open are probably very busy. You can always cancel if you feel better.

Crispy said...

Take care of yourself. Otherwise how will you continue to take care of everyone else?

Hope you feel better soon.

You get to feeling better and then you can blog about something wonderful for all of us to drool over.

Jocelyn said...

Oh Pat, take care of yourself. Hope you will be feeling better soon. Maybe a round of antibiotics is in order.

Goodness, you really do need to see the doctor. I hope that you will be feeling better soon. Take care of yourself.

Barb said...

Oh wow....I sure hope you didn't catch it from me....(HA!)....all kidding aside, I sure hope you get better and it just puts a downer on everything doesn't it?

Rest and feel better, and get to the Dr!

Get to the doctor girl!!! As one who just got an all clear that my pneumonia is gone, I don't want to see anyone else suffer with it this year.

Oh Pat, that's no good. You know what you have to do so I guess you need to go and do it. We will all still be here when you are ready to visit and be visited again.

Oh Poor Pat! I hope you're feeling better soon! I came down with a bad cold Christmas Eve and have been semi-stoned on cold medicine ever since. Sounds much more fun than it actually is.

Put your feet up, make some tea and do something you enjoy!

Paula in OH said...

Oh Pat, I hope you are feeling better soon. Please see you physician soon, you sound like you need an antibiotic. Take care of yourself.

Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself and call the doctor. We'll wait until you feel up to more postings!

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Pat. I battled something like that when I got back from Puerto Rico back on October. It seemed like it would never go away...Finally, one day last week I noticed I didn't have the nasal drip and the cough was gone..took me close to 2 months to get rid of it.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

Pat, Hope you have spent the day resting. It's good for you. Sometimes we have to stop taking care of or keeping up with stuff because we need to take care of ourselves or we can't take care and keep up......... You know what I mean. :-) Good idea to see the doctor. Coughs are not to be taken lightly.
