But just barely. I got the cough and chest congestion back - feel the same as I did a couple weeks before the transplant. Then I worried it might have something to do with inhaling the toxic smoke and fumes from the camper fire in Arizona, but I got over it ok so just figured it was a result of allergies.
Yesterday I ached so bad that I never did get dressed, and slept off and on all day. I'm taking a cough syrup with codeine, and Benadryl tablets which really help me rest, and I hope I get over it soon - whatever "it" is. I'm not ready to waste time going to the doctor and I couldn't drive there if I wanted to. I'll be ok in a day or two, but I just wanted to let you know why I'm not posting.

Thanks so much for checking in.
ReplyDeleteHope you're back on your feet soon.
Meanwhile, you know the drill: Lots of rest and plenty of fluids. Take care!
So glad to hear from you but so sorry you aren't feeling very good. Sure hope it pasts quickly.
ReplyDeleteChicken soup!
ReplyDeleteI think it's because you're hanging around too much civilization. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to finally hear from you but sad that you are not feeling well. I kept checking your site to see if you had updated your Blog. You see, we are all happy to hear from you again. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHurry up and get better. It just ain't no fun being sick. Is your dog taking good care of you? BTW, I saw a Lance camper today that looked just like yours and the access to the propane is in a bad position.
ReplyDeleteHate to hear you are feeling so bad. I know my alergies are really bad again, but they usually don't make my body ache, just stuffy and bitchy. Sounds more like you have the flu or a nasty cold. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Gypsy, I seldom comment but you have many of the symptoms of Valley Fever - please Google it - the Mayo clinic website has a lot of info - it is a fungus infection of the lungs carried by spores in the desert wind - it can become quite serious - you should definitely go to the doctor & tell him you traveled to Arizona - I think it can be diagnosed with a blood test - It can have periods of worsening symptoms alternating with periods of recovery & especially in older adults must be treated by a doctor - Please read the Mayo clinic website & get it treated immediately - We are very aware of it in Ohio because one of the Reds players got it in spring training & is now very sick - Don't want to alarm you but please go see a doctor - we all care about you even if don't often comment - Take care of yourself - Cindy L
ReplyDeleteMoonfly's Valley Fever theory is very valid. Gordon from Sandra & Gordon had a nasty case of that a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteIf that is not what it is then I totally agree with Judy's 'civilization' theory. That is even more valid than Valley Fever.....
Sure hope you feel back to normal real soon. Thoughts are with you!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Valley Fever is not a nice illness. If you are not better in a few days take everyones advice and see a Dr.
ReplyDeleteMy dad had it and he was in the hospital for a long time as they were treating him for the flu. And this was in AZ.
Thanks for posting. We kept checking the blog. So sorry your sick. Good vibes to you to get well quick.
