Good to hear you're feeling better. That's not a fun way to spend your time!
Hey dere, you!
*HUG*
Yeah,pneumonia!
I was one sick puppy!
Busy tonight or are folks behavin' themselves? ;)
Aloha Sweetness!
*LITTLE DEVIL HUG*
Deal!
No relapses!
Evening Kathy, Hugs.
We are 1 person short tonight so it has been jumping.
I’ll bet.
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
You weren’t hospitalized where you?
Howdy, teenie Girl!
Thanks!
No, it sure isn’t a fun way to spend time!
It was BAD!
Weather up there sure seems to be turning every which way but right! Hope it straightens up for you real soon!
How ya been?
No, I wasn’t hospitalized, but they said if I had waited any longer, I would have been.
This all happened shortly after I got a flu shot.
Never again!
Hi Taz!
(((HUGS)))
Hi Teenie!
Are you convinced that the flu shot had something to do with the pneumonia? Flu does have a relatively short incubation period and the flu vaccine takes a bit to kick in.
So you decided that when it felt like a knife going in, to breath and that you couldn’t walk, you had better get it checked out eh?
Tsk Tsk...
I am glad you are better.
*smooch*
Good evening, Sis.
Thank you!
It was rough sledding, for sure!
How’s your shift going tonight?
We’ve been short all day, so it’s popping.
Pneumonia is not fun at all.
Did Mr. B feed you chicken soup?
Thanks, Luv, for the hot chocolate......
Things have been an adventure since Friday. I drove to work Friday, went to the PO for Christmas stamps for my Mom at noon, and when I left for home I only had 1st gear. It was quite the adventure getting all the way across town. Somewhere in the first third of the trip it shifted to 2nd, but that was it. I limped home.
I knew I could use my Dad’s suburban on Monday...no problem, just how to get my car to the mechanic. Will have AAA tow it on Thursday. (Another day off starting to fill up with unplanned stuff to do.)
Sunday was shopping, but it started to snow and quit, snow and quit. I figured it could wait til the way home on Monday. Sunday evening, heavy snow, then HIGH winds and temps into the 40s, and then rain, and temp drop into the low 30s...all within about 90 minutes. The day’s snow gone, again. *sigh* Water standing in the gutter. When I went to bed it had started, again, to snow, and heavily. Woke up this morning to 8” of snow. Tried to shovel, but it was too wet and heavy. Broke out my little snow blower and it did a pretty good job. Then off to work while it still snowed. Finally figured out the defroster and windshield wipers did their job.
Fast forward to 3pm...boss said we could wrap things up and go home before it got dark. Got my timesheets printed to bring home. Out to the suburban at 3:45p.... Temps hovering at freezing and windshield covered in ice. Start car, start defroster, scrape ice...but wipers are non-functional. No sound at all.
I pass my mechanic every evening on the way home from work. He is always closed. But today, we got out early...so I stopped. No empty bays, but he had one of the guys check for “dead”, ordered a new motor, took the old one out and then put the new one in when it was delivered and a bay opened.
As I was waiting I realized it was Post time (I had expected to be home by then). Minor panic. Call Connie...tell her I’m stuck and will ping when I get home. Interesting last few hours. Someone was watching over me. Payroll never seems to be able to leave early. When I usually leave, the shop is closed. NOT a good time to be without wipers. Now I am home safe and sound, with new wipers. Whew!! And more stormy weather in the offing.
I really am convinced.
I may have been harboring the pneumonia., but I had no symptoms until after the shot.
Headache, vomiting, and then the pneumonia.
My goodness! You REALLY needed that hot chocolate...and probably laced with something stronger! LOL!
I’m glad you finally got home safely and hope the rest of the week goes smoother than the first part!
8” of snow....we would be absolutely stalled out as a city with that much snow. LOL!
