It caught Me!

And I didnt even know I was being chased.

First, I have to preface that I began having some bronchial congestion after we had been in Kansas for about 4 hours last week on our trip. I wasnt surprised because the entire 9 years that I lived in Kansas I had to take allergy medication. So, no biggie. Take the old medication and go on.

Thats what I did. The symptoms didnt get better after we left Kansas and kind of got worse over the last 72 hours, so I drug myself into work today, coughing, wheezing, etc and had my friend who is a doc listen to my lungs. I have pneumonia. Not a bad kind, caught early, started on costly medication and I have full intention to whip this things ass before we fly on Monday.

So, wish me luck! I continued to work today, (I dont have a fever) and I coughed, hacked and wheezed my way through all 12.5 hours, with most of the patients commenting that I appeared sicker than they were. duhhhhh...... When the nursing staff is more sick than the patients, we have problems with our healthcare system!!! Do ya think?????

I am off for the next 3 days, I promise to visit all your blogs tomorrow, and I will post a new entry to mine. I think its time for some ZZZzzzz's.....
