SICK

I am sick, I was up most of the night with chills alternating with sweats...same as the night before but now I have a horrible, tight cough that sounds croupy...usually indicating an obstruction,  My doc is going to see me at 1:30.  I have antibiotics and a nebulizer as well as prednisone but I am not starting anything until I am seen.  Going to take a nice hot shower now and then get to the doc.  Will try to update later but will very likely be scarce on the site today, my head feels like it is going to explode.  Sneezing and wheezing...what a combination.  Cancelled aqua therapy for tomorrow, will go back next week.  Certainly, I will be well by then.

Love to all, 

Ellen
