out of action

I'm out of action for a bit with the 'flu and a horribly rattly chest that they're still trying to decide between bronchitis and pneumonia as the cause. Today is the first day that I've been able to sit up for longer than half an hour without feeling like I'm going to faint and I've been like this since last Thursday.

At least I'm home with Mum so I haven't had to worry about how to get myself to doctors and tests and specialists when I can't drive, and I've had someone to grocery shop and prepare food and buy tissues and make sure I'm breathing when I faint.

I can even get the occasional cuddle when I promise not to breath on her. ;o)

Mums are great. I'd probably say the same about Dad, but he's caught the same bug so he's been a worse patient that I have.

Listening to: the sound of my own coughing
