Stopped in my tracks

I have been so sick.  Too sick to blog.  Too sick to give a care about anything.  It really puts life in perspective.

Last Wednesday I was having a pretty good day.  I was hanging out with my grandsons when I started to feel like the Energizer Bunny minus a battery.  As the day went on, I realized that something or a lot of things were just not right.  After going to the Fast ER, I learned that I had strep throat and a UTI. 

I sort of crashed after that and have been living on the sofa with a glass of water and medication.  It really has been rough. Each day is a little better than the one before, but it's been a slow go.

I've had lots of thoughts for blog posts, but they have remained thoughts.  Just in case anyone thought that I had fallen off of the planet, I am still here.  Every now and then I have a spurt of energy.  Hopefully, the spurts are going to get longer.:)

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly Betty!  Take care of you, lots of sleep and fluids, couch & cuddly blanket, and a good book or DVD.

Sending healthy wishes your way...

Hope you're feeling better.  I know myself from a day at the ER last week just how sucky it is to feel bad.

Feel better soon! Ella Numera Una had strep the week before she graduated. She got meds and was feeling fine, but then the bugger came back 2 weeks after that. A particularly virulent strain...looking forward to some of those blogging ideas to come to fruition!

Aren't you glad it's not teaching season when this hit? UGH, so weird to be sick like that in summer. I had my icky-sicky w/ laryngitis mid-June. (bad as I felt, I agreed w/the school secretary that I was glad I wasn't teaching that week)

Great idea, but will this work over the long run?
