Not Dead Yet
I have pneumonia! Yay!
We finally saw a real doctor yesterday and they did a chest xray and some blood draws. The blood results aren't back, but the xray right away showed one lung had little fluid-filled sacs. The doctor got me on antibiotics that day and now we wait a few days and see.
I've been veeerrry slooowly feeling better since this weekend, so I think my body was handling it, but I am so ready to be done with this it isn't even funny. 10 days with a fever is way too many. I think it's better this morning? My cough is less uncontrollable and I was able to sleep in bed instead of on the couch but I still have a fever. We'll see.
I'm so tired of being tired. I have very little energy and keep using it up to clean part of the kitchen or do a load of laundry. I've been making Dr Lady take me for a walk every morning (now that it's 70 degrees and sooo niiice) but I can only go 15-20min before I start getting dizzy. Yet at the same time, I haven't been able to sleep, so my days have been spent lying on the couch. Just makes me feel like such a useless lump of flesh.
Here's hoping this clears up with the antibiotics.
