**Not my actual X-ray
That's right I have pneumonia! I had been coughing for about a week and this past weekend it seemed to get worse and harder to breath. I decided on Sunday that I would go to Care Now and just get some antibiotics so I could get over this. I was very impressed with the Care Now on the 30 and Beltline. It was great, you check in online and they call you when they are ready to see you. I was very impressed with how it went. I kept telling Charlie "I bet it is pneumonia. It feels like it." He would just laugh and say, "you don't know what it feels like, you have never had pneumonia." When the doctor came in and told us that I had pneumonia, my immediate response to Charlie was - "I KNEW IT!" I am sure the doctor was a little confused. ha ha. You could see it in the left lower lobe of my lung on the x-ray. I got a breathing treatment in the office and he put me on cough medicine, antibiotics, and an inhaler. Which seem to be helping, I am not coughing non-stop as much so that is good! I have been stuck at home, which has been killing me so I thought that maybe I could run a little errand. I decided to go to Babies R Us this morning and find a gift for Lola. Don't get me started on finding stuff in that store, they change everything around and it is so hard to follow the registry if nothing is where is says it is. So you can imagine it is taking me a while. Finally I ask this nice lady working there is she would help me find a few things I was looking for. As she was helping me I started to sweat, so I took my jacket off. Next thing you know I am completely pale, sweating, nauseous, and feel like I am going to pass out. It was so embarrassing I had to ask her if I could sit down, ha ha. She let me sit there and rest and then I started to feel better. So embarrassing! So I am back home and resting. Obviously I was not ready for errands, ha ha. But I am starting to feel better after more sleep. I have to go back to see the doctor tomorrow, and hopefully he will clear me to go back to work Thursday.

I hope you get to feeling better, that stinks that you have pneumonia! (and Babies R Us is overwhelming when you aren't sick!!)
