Rest, Recuperate and Heal

My posts have been what can only be described as sporadic, and today day, as I find myself sitting in bed, per doctors ordered, it seems only appropriate to write a post.

The past several weeks have been full of activity:
* full days at work; several projects with similar deadlines; preparing for summer learning
* making travel arrangements for a "cousins trip" to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in October
* final weeks of Bible study in Exodus - amazing!
* weekly dates with Stan
* conference planning for NCTM Annual in Denver (held last week)
* conference planning for Learning Forward Annual @ Gaylord in Grapevine (coming up in Dec)
...and so much more

In the midst of all of this, I was getting sick.
It hit me during the last day of the NCTM conference last week. Let's just say, I was grateful to only have a 90 min flight from Denver to DFW.

I knew I was sick, so I stayed home from work on Monday and scheduled the first available appointment on Tuesday morning.

After a breathing treatment in the doctor's office and a set of X-rays she confirmed I had pneumonia. Not at all what I was expecting.

So until my doctor learns me, I'm confined to home and bed rest.
I understand the severity of my diagnosis and do. it want further complications. so tool answer your wonder, Yes, I'm taking prescribed medications and resting.

I will say the inhaler that I've been given, in addition to a strong antibiotic, is the worst part of all.
It really makes me feel jittery...causes my heart to race. If for reason except to never have an albuterol inhaler again, I will rest and recuperate.
