Almost

Woke up this morning and felt okay. Ear still plugged though and that bugs me. I tried allergy medicine yesterday to see if that would help but all it seemed to do was dry up my nose. Oh great LOL
After I had a cup of coffee I started hacking like there was no tomorrow, getting rid of a lot of mucus though so it was worth it. Suddenly, my ears popped! Hooray! I thought.
Unfortunately, several minutes later they closed back up again, back to where they were. The left ear is about 80 percent clear and the right one is like I am deaf. But, the important thing is that I now know for certain that the ear plugging is connected to the crud that refuses to leave my system.
There is hope!

Never Ending

It has been over a month since I first got sick and then ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. I am still not over it all.
I have spent days coughing up snot and I am tired of it as well as just plain tired :( The other night I coughed so hard for so long that I swear to God there was a jet airplane inside my ear!
I think this wouldn't be all that bad if my poor ears would just unplug. I'm rather tired of saying "huh?" and "what?" every time someone tries to talk to me. I'm sure my two females are tired of it too.
One can only hope that, eventually, this crud will go away and leave me alone. It isn't going to be today though, I already know that. I woke up coughing my fool head off and now am running to the bathroom to sit on the throne. Not a good day at all :(

Lest I Forget

Out Of It

I am sleeping way, way, too much. I hope it is just the antibiotics kicking my butt. I sleep almost the entire day and night since I came home from the hospital. I have things I need to do but have no clue where I will get the energy to do them, so they get put off.
It takes me hours just to get out of the bed and walk into this kitchen so that I can do my updates for this blog or Facebook and to do my daily "work" that pays me pennies. I hope this is a temporary thing as I do not like being quite so lazy.
I do seem to be feeling better and I notice that I can pretty much taste things that I am eating or drinking so that is a good sign right there :)
I hope that none of you ever get this old or this sickly, it is not any fun at all.

Rough Times

It is hard to type this. Not because it is something horrible but it is because it is hard for my fingers and the keys on the keyboard to meld together the way that they used to, before I got old.
A few weeks back I turned sixty. Not that old for this day and age, that's for sure. But, old enough for me. Actually it isn't the getting older part that has done me in,it is the getting sick part that tried to destroy me.
I am at home typing this on my PC, same as always. I have spent the past five days in the hospital with pneumonia, and I had been sick for at least five days prior to finally calling 9-1-1 and going to the hospital. I had not eaten anything hardly in the last 3 or4 days I had been sick at home and that didn't make matters any easier. If anything, it made things a whole lot worse!
But, I am at home now and my two females are paying very close attention to every move I make, every sound I utter. I'd be willing to bet that if I burped right now my daughter, sitting close to me, would raise up her face and ask me if I am okay, do I need anything, etc. Nice to be loved, not always so nice to feel like you are being so closely guarded LOL
At least I managed to type this blog update, that is a great start. I have some more paid posts to write and must be able to type them. Otherwise I will have to get one of those programs that turns speech into text and I don't want to do that. Not the way I talk! lol
