Hi everyone.  Well, since I’ve been gone I’ve:  lost weight, tightened abs, gotten plenty of down time, drank lots of water……

Because this flu has NOT BEEN FUN.  I turned a bad corner and had terrible coughing which tightens muscles in the most horrible ways.  Hmph.  Not even being able to eat 3 oyster crackers when it began….no nausea, just couldn’t chew/swallow.  Then having options of canned soup or …jello with fruit for days.  Both DH and I were sick so no caretaker.  We’ve survived.  Not.  Fun.

I now have a new doctor.  Since I’m never sick, I haven’t been that concerned by the neglect of our formerly-wonderful local clinic.  But getting into bronchitis is more serious.  Getting tested for worse than bronchitis at new doc’s office…oh!

I’m stilllll sick.  I’m FINALLY getting sleep tho.  Wonderful!  Coughing less and less weirdly.  Voice still in baritone range.  {roll eyes}  Our area is experiencing some med shortages, btw.

It’s been many years since I’ve been ill with cold/flu.  Hope it is many years before I go thru this again.  I’m sorry to have missed this Challenge.  I haven’t been outside the door for over a week….except to see doc. She appreciated that I came in from the parking lot, already masked!

My walking will have to begin slowly again.  Dog will be excited to get her evening walking partner back.  Not today or tomorrow…..  Don’t know when but being locked inside is not my style.  I’ll be glad to be set free…eventually.

OldMtWoman  …good for all of you who have continued!
