Are you okay? What kind of "major setback"?

I didn't post it last week because it's embarrasing to be sick all the time but I've got pneumonia and strep throat. I got an antibiotic that I started last Tuesday which did not do the trick. I went to a place called Monroe Urgent Care today because I can't stop coughing, it's not really for urgent stuff it's a doctors office that's open 7 days a week, and I have not improved and now have a sinus infection to go along with everything else. I've started a new antibiotic.

Oh Sheri, I am so sorry that there is one more thing going on after everything else. Your poor body is so worn down that it is letting everything attack it and I really hope this new antibiodic helps you to get some relief. We all miss you around here!

Oh, you are NOT having fun! I'm really sorry you have been going through all this...I hope this new antibiotic helps!

Don't be embarassed! It's not like you are getting sick because you WANT to!

awww sheri, that's terrible... and with all that, you still got a christmas card out to me? thank you

Sheri, that's so terrible that you are so sick...I'm praying that you get better...

Here Sheri...feel better soon! We do miss you and worry abotu you. Bless your heart this has been such an ordeal...but you will get better...just eat & rest..eat & rest..eat & rest...

I'm hoping you feel better real soon, Sheri, being so sick is no fun and it's so hard!

Sheri...I hope you get better soon...all the way better.

Sheri, wow you are truely have a hard time of it. Please rest up and take care of yourself.

Here's hoping that the new medicine does the trick this time, Sheri.
Take good care of yourself, and don't worry about any of the everyday stuff...
it will all take care of itself too.

Thanks you guys. I think rest is the key. I don't have any stamina. I have to lay down a lot but right now I can't sleep because of the cough. Hopefully this antibiotic will kick in soon.

Sheri, not to be gross, but is it a dry hacking cough? If there is stuff laying in your chest it might be good to get an expectorant(sp?).

Rest a lot, and get your fluids, and you know they say chicken noodle soup really does help when you are sick----something in it, or maybe it's psychological...not sure....

Just get better soon!

Maybe I can get Vanessa to send me some soup. She's probably got some in the freezer.

I ALWAYS have some made up! I personally prefer split pea w/ham soup when I am sick...Darin always wants home made potato soup, but chicken noodle is always a good one. I have a "soup" section in my freezer so it is always handy!

Sheri...still sayin prayers for ya hon...i am praying you see some new strength every day. I sure hope the antibiotics kick in..

I like split pea soup too. It's one of the things I started eating when I was pregnant the first time and it's still good to me.

Wonder if Martha Stewart has a soup section in her freezer. We should send her to check our yours.

My mom can't stand Martha.....

She's a harsh woman I tell ya!

Sheri, how are you feeling today? I hope you get all the way well soon. You have really been through the ringer, haven't you?

Dianna

I feel so much better today. Thanks for asking.

I sincerely hope you are still making progress toward wellness, my friend.

We miss with you!

I'm lots better today. I've got to go back to work on Monday. I'm already dreading it. One of my goals, while I was out with this surgery, was to find another job. I haven't felt like doing it so it's back to the old grind. I have asked a job placement service to help me out so maybe there's hope. One of my sisters thinks stress from my job is part of the reason that I can't get over all this sickness. She said I need an anti depressant but I don't want to take medicine regularly and I'd rather just try to work through things.

Makes a lot of sense Sheri. When one thing is weighing on you so much, as we know your job is, it just puts that much additional stress on you. I hope you are well enough for work on Monday.
