Got the flu (so I thought) - does'nt get better. Went to the doc this morning ......... I got pneomonia, that's why I'm feeling so bloody bad and have a fever. With that - bad sinus infection - from there the nose bleeds.
Felt like the Sishen/Saldanha train had hit me this morning. Short of breath and had a feeling in my chest like something was clamping me. One of the ladies here in the office decided that she's gonna phone and make an appointment for me, for I HATE going to the doctors - did just that and sent me off. Actually thought the doc was just gonna say - sharrap, go drink lots of water, take two panado's if you really need to and get back to work.
No, I'm not going to hospital! I promised to be a very good girl: stay in bed, take my meds, do the inhaling thing and what ever is needed.
Just wanted to let you know how crappy I'm feeling now (these are the times when you still want to say : I want my mommy) so you all have to substitute with the needed sympathy's like ag, shame & oh, my poor child & gonna make you some nice soup & stay in bed, don't get up & DO YOU WANT TO CATCH YOUR DEATH.
I just know your responses will sommer make me feel better even before all the meds start working.
HI - sorry to here your not feeling well image031 Hope you feel better soon giverose

Oh no Dalene - mind yourself; here let me plump your pillows - I have a roaring fire lit if you want one of the 'men' to carry you to the sofa where we will wrap you in a duvet and feed you chicken soup
Mind yourself love10

I just knew it! The girls pamper me & Mike ORDERS me to get better for the VRYSTAAT game!
Maybe I should start with the Windhoek's straight away - you never know, they could work better than the anibiotics.
notfair :nono1:
Ag shame, you poor thing! Hope you listen to your doctor and take time to recuperate, then you will soon be feeling better again!
We'll be thinking of you!

And don't listen to Mike - forget the Windhoek and take those antibiotics - remember to finish the course!

You should mix the antibiotics with the beer..... then you can feel really really cool... and you might even look younger....

Took Monday off, after spending the weekend feeling realy grottie, so Daleen you have my empathy. My nose is raw from blowing it.
No sympathy from the wife though, just get back to work and work throught it.
For me the pneunonia was not even a case of feeling fluey .. I just felt off form .. went off firstly ciggies then vino then coffee , then food .. all a case of the body trying to tell me sometthing .. I was dumb stupid and not listening .. in the meantime the tight band around the chest that Dalene mentioned came to the fore .. i thought it was an asthmatc episode ... meanwile I was slowly drowning and the more I was drowning the more irratiional i became in my own ' self diagnosis " untill the fever finally set in .. its the way the bug actually gets to claim its victim .. irrationality .. seen a couple of cases like that .. another colleague of mine went the same way as me .. stress and end result a run down immune system . ... as Dalene has ahd .. rest take the medication .. and allow your body to heal ... for me recovery turn around was 3 weeks as i was in a bad way .. DALENE .. REST .. YOU NEED IT !!
I am doing just that - reading all your postings and answering one or two here and there - that's when I'm awake! Meds are making we really woozy & sleepy. Wake up every now & then with coughs and this stupid headache that sticks like glue. Drinking lots of water also - sweating & fever makes me lose lots of fluid - scared of getting dehydrated!
Thanks for all your good wishes. Lekker to chat to you all - takes my mind off worries about work and appointments with clients I had to cancell. One client called me back this afternoon & said: YOU JUST CONCENTRATE ON GETTING BETTER - MAYBE BECAUSE YOU BEEN ILL THAT THE BLOOMIN MARKETS ARE ALSO FEELING SOMEWHAT ILL - IF YOU GET BETTER THE SHARE PRICES MAY RISE AGAIN. Just had to laugh, but warms the heart that clients become friends like that who trust you.
There you go ...
Oh yes and watch your sleep cycles .. with the meds they become a bit messed up .. I ended up so confused with time .. get someone to get you a course of melatonin ( will help regulate sleep pattern ) from pharm or health shop if theres one in your area .. its awful being overslept yet deprived of normal sleep pattern .. made me near suicidal ..
gnite you lot. Dozing off already again. Chat to you all again tomorrow. witch-43
Morning Dalene. Hope you managed to get a good night's sleep. No boob1 or pole-small for you today. Just take it slow and before you know it you'll be back to your normal self again witch-43 cat3

How you feeling now?
I reckon after the Aunty saw the CHEETAHS klap the Falcons last night, she is way better.... way way better!
How is our patient feeling today - 164 - do you need us to fluff up your pillows for you and bring you some juice
Hi Dalene, I hope', but doubt you are feeling much better. I had Pneumonia 7 weeks ago.
Was feeling rough for about a week and then collapsed in the kitchen,luckily Keith was at home!
Ambulance and hooked up to anti biotics and also dehydrated!! In hospital for 3 days.
It took agood 5 weeks before back to normal!!! The doc said it would be 3 months before back at work.
As evidently had Atypical Pneumonia. Hope you haven't got it that bad.Even stopped the ciggies for 4 wks!!
Anyway hope you're feeling better but it is a slow progress, just take it easy,even if you don't want to your 164
body will soontell you to !!

Hi there to you all!
Feeling way better. Took the meds, stayed in bed for 3 days & now up and on the go again. Still not myself - phlem in the throat & coughing now & then, but no more fever. Doc says me's not allowed to excercise in gym etc. Still taking antibiotics - got to finish coarse. Back in office again today - not one of the lucky ones to have sick leave. No work - no pay, so gotta be on the move again.
Thanks for all the good wishes.
Yes Mike - I did feel LOTS better after the Cheetahs game - had to restrain myself to celebrate with a beer!
About the same as I did .. nearly went crazy lying at home dealing with the hallucinations caused by 6 Purbac DS per day ..recomended dosage is 3 per day .. DS stands for .. well you know ... Doc told me he has administered more to people in a really bad way .. so after 4 days in bed ahving most wierd dreams .. skin crawling ..waking up inearly hours and seeing strange little creatures running around on my bed .. time for reality and half days just to keep me in touch with the world .. well they saved me from drowning alive .. For me its always been a case of get up as soon as possible face real world but when you feel the energy and strength going .. straight home and back to bed .. so you know what to do half days and rest . no late nights ..
Hi Dalene - are you feeling 100% yet?
Yes, thanks Rhona. Back to 100% and feeling as good as ever. On the go as usual, but now doing twice the pace - have to catch up on all that fell behind when I was down and out.
Hey Dalene,how about some of the Province mixture,you get well in a jiffy! swink
