What a Day!

What a day already.
I had to status myself as out for the day from work. I am still feeling unwell.
After logging into my computer and getting that done for work, I brushed my teeth, got my husband out the door, and went back to bed. I slept for a little over 2 hours.
I do not feel any better for it now that I am up.
I ran the robo vacuum. I have the dishwasher running.
As I look outside I noticed it began to lightly snow. It is the big fluffy flakes. Right now the sidewalk is covered. I was quite a snow burst, the skies actually got grey, like what we see in the summer time just before a big thunderstorm.
I think that Old Man Winter needs to let Young (missing) Spring take the reigns. I have a feeling that will take a while because I have noticed in years gone by that when @JudyEv experiences a warm autumn, we are experiencing a cold spring. That seems to be holding true this year.
I will most likely spend the majority of the rest of today in the bed. I am feeling exhausted, I fear that this may turn into pneumonia and I want to stay ahead of that.

@RebeccasFarm Oh yes, there is telehealth, but I have an appointment at the clinic in 45 minutes.
It is time for me to get ready.

I hope you feel better soon. I was going to suggest getting back in bed and resting. I'm glad that's what you're doing. Leave housework until you feel better. No use wearing yourself out and getting sicker.

@DaddyEvil I hear you, we both use big pillows so that we are not flat, but when I sleep on my side I might as well be flat.

@Juliaacv I'm glad you got more sleep.
Even when I'm in bed, I'm propped up on several pillows. I breathe easier that way, even if I am also using a CPAP machine when I'm sleeping.

@sallypup It is really bad timing.
I will have to go to a walk in clinic, but right now my lungs aren't rattling, so no sense going yet.
My doctor's office closed this week, he has to relocate to another area of the country due to a condition that his young daughter has. He set up 2 other doctors to take over his practice, but we have to wait until we get a phone call from them. Right now I do not know where their office will be, but like I said, i would go to a walk in clinic if I felt it would help.

@LindaOHio I did find a good clinic to attend.
She wasn't able to prescribe me anything as it is viral.
I have infections in my sinus, ears and throat.
I'm falling apart here. 
I asked why the exhaustion, and was told that my body is trying hard to fight this, and that it can last as long as 3 weeks. I didn't want her to talk after she spoke those words.

@Juliaacv Do you have an Urgent Care Center? I hope you find a doctor to go to.

I hate to hear that you feel so bad. Try to sit up as much as you can and drink plenty of water and liquids. Feel better soon.

Thank you Marie, this crept up on me pretty quickly.
I did go to bed and got a solid few hours of deep sleep rest.
Now I am up but in the recliner and just finished a big glass of apple juice.
I hope that I can sleep tonight, I've slept quite a bit during the day today.

Oh, Julia, seems like you just can't get well! I know you'll see your doctor before this appears to be pneumonia. Praying for you for sure.

Thank you for the prayers.
My doctor just closed his office this week.
He has 2 new doctors that will take over his practice, but I have to wait for the meet & greet appointment. I do not even know where they will work from as far as a location.
I will need to use a walk in clinic.

@Juliaacv Yes, you don't want to wait that long to see a doctor. Take care of yourself, sweet friend.

I'm so sorry you still aren't feeling well Julia. I certainly hope it doesn't turn into pneumonia. Resting is probably the best thing to do today

My last family doctor, closed his practice this week.
I had him for less than a year.
The previous doctor I went to for a few years.
I will get another doctor, I will have to wait for the appointment, but plan on asking because I do not know much about the pneumonia shot. I remember the year that we were 50, both my husband and I had the shot, but we also got terribly sick with pneumonia that same year, and he is never sick. I am interested in knowing more about it, but of course in time.

Thanks, I appreciate your prayers.
I am exhausting myself by coughing.
I will go back to bed for the afternoon.
I hate to stay in bed too long because lying down can fill up your lungs.
Mine are not rattling just yet, but it cannot be far off based on how I feel.
I really really wanted this year to be the year that I broke the annual pneuomonia cycle.

Oh no, not good at all. I guess you could try taking something that will boost your immune system.
