It was a wonderful Thanksgiving....Mike's daughter came to visit with her sixteen year old son and her 4 year old daughter.  We had deep fried turkey with all the trimmings.  I made cornbread so we had cornbread dressing and rice dressing both.  I visited with my grandkids on Wednesday night and all day on Thursday, but on Thursday night I felt sick, feverish and achy and lots and lots of coughing and coughing and coughing all night long.  I felt so bad I didn't get up out of bed on Friday and so my daughter and her kiddos left for home that next evening.  I don't even remember Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday, and I barely remember Monday.  I had thought that by Monday if what I had was the flu I would be feeling better after five days of not much besides sleep to keep me going.  But Monday was no different, and neither was Tuesday.  Mike got sick on Monday...and so both of us were down.  Thank goodness for Sonny who cooked and fed us because Mike and I were both too week and dizzy and feverish to stay out of bed for long.  On Wednesday Mike and I felt good enough to go to the doctor.  He checked us both for the flu and said that Mike did indeed have the flu and put him on an antiviral.  He said that I was over all my flu symptoms and was not contagious...but I have pneumonia.  Since then I have slept a lot, have been eating light and drinking lots of fluids and taking my antibiotic every day the way the doctor ordered.  Tonight (It is December 2nd, Sunday night) I have eaten my dinner, taken my medication and feel like I am better today, still awake after being out of bed for a few hours.  Tomorrow should be even better!  I have three days of antibiotic left to take.
