Funky Stuff Indeed


So I left work on Monday feeling not so hot.

Tuesday wasn't much better and I have been out of work since fighting a really nasty cough and other nasal issues that I won't describe in detail. I figured it was probably a sinus infection so I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Brian Henry this afternoon to confirm my suspicions.

Brian is not just my doctor but is also a good friend and a co-laborer at our church. We love he and his family (not just because they read this blog on a regular basis). More about that later...

He suggested a chest x-ray after listening to me breathe and come to find out, I have the beginning stages of pneumonia!. Yikes. No wonder I feel like a worm's belly. I've never had pneumonia before and I don't recommend it to any of you funky folks.

Dr. Henry prescribed me some meds and I am typing this post under the influence of something called a Z-pack and some codine cough syrup. I am not sure why I am even awake.

So...I should probably hit the "publish post" button and read this later to make sure I didn't write about the penguins I see on the ceiling.

I am going to lay low for a bit and get some rest (doctor's orders!) but I hope you all have a great weekend!

Oops, I hit the submit button. I also meant to tell you to get some rest and I hope you get well soon. I've done the pneumonia thing once before and it's not any fun.
