A couple of weeks ago, my husband caught something really weird from a guy at work [who brought the bug back from Texas]. Then I got it... it was the most awful 'cold' I ever had: nose completely stopped up it was almost impossible to eat, aches, fever and chills and perpetual thirst for three straight days. No nausea fortunately but yikes. Then when I thought it was going away it turned into a sinus infection. First time I ever had one of those. I don't get sick very often either. We just figured that even the cold bugs are bigger in Texas. Hmmm...

Geez... I had the same thing now for over a month. The doctor diagnosed it as pneumonia yesterday. I blamed mine on my Christmas visitors. They came from California, Arizona, Indiana, Florida and Tenneessee.

Wow, something like that hit me in late October. Even though I was on meds from the doctor, it got worse! I finally landed up going to the ER. I can't remember ever being that sick before...and never want to be that sick again!

I did lose more than 10 #'s during the ordeal, unfortunately, I put them all back on over the holidays.

EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas.
