Where I've been


 

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to pop on real quick and explain where I've been.  What started out as a scratchy throat last Sunday developed into a full blown flu, the worst I've ever had (fever, chills, body aches, headache...tis the season!). I don't think I've ever been that sick in my entire life.  This one really knocked me out.  I have been doing an awful lot lately and I think my body just slammed on the brakes.  

Well, that flu has developed into pneumonia. The good news is that I did see my doctor and I'm now on two antibiotics and a prescription cough pill and am finally (after 9 long days) starting to feel better.  I see light at the end of this tunnel.  I've been in bed most of the time and basically quarantining in my bedroom because I don't want anyone in my family to catch to this beast.  So far so good (knock wood!!).  

The most interesting part of this week is that during my fever haze, I decided it would be a good idea to host Thanksgiving.  It will be an even better idea if I ever get out of this bed.  At least it's giving me something to think about while I'm lying here :)

Thank you, friends.  I'll be back when I'm feeling better.  Hopefully sooner than later.

  5. Oh no! Sorry you've been so sick! But hosting Thanksgiving? Yikes :) I had to chuckle at that :) The things we do to ourselves :) I don't cook turkeys, but I did buy a pre-cooked turkey breast the other day, so I feel somewhat ahead of the game already :) I hope today is a great day for you.

  6. Oh dear Danielle! So sorry to hear you've been feeling so crappy. That exact same flu has hit 2 people I know and one had to have 2 different kinds of antibiotics also. Geesh! I sure hope you fully kick it soon and feel better. And I hope you don't put too much pressure on yourself about Thanksgiving. Season of gratitude above all and I have no doubt how much you're appreciated beyond cooking a dozen different dishes. Lol
    Feel better and blessings to you always. xoxo🙏🏻💗

  7. Oh, feel better my friend! I am so sorry that you are under the weather. I had pneumonia last year and it was not fun. And that cough pill is fabulous!
    Do not pressure yourself about Thanksgiving. You need to give your body time to heal. Sending great big hugs and chicken soup your way.
