I am not a grump!

Well there you go. There was a reason why I felt woe is me yesterday and that reason was... I have pneumonia. That's a relief as I thought I was just turning into a miserable old git.
I was actually really thinking about throwing in the towel today and handing in my notice as I was feeling so grumpy, but now my workmates will have to put up with me for a bit longer as I was just feeling miserable for another reason.

I think my physio Hannah was as shocked as I was when the lab results were read out. I always thought with pneumonia, I'd be bed ridden, but I guess that's the beauty of having a physios that like looking at your sputum as you have it bashed out of you. Sadie realised it wasn't 'the right' colour and texture for me and made me do a sample asap. Well spotted Sadie, another week untreated and it could have been a different story. When the other respiratory nurse asked did I feel unwell, I just laughed, as I have felt unwell for the past three years, in fact I can't actually remember what it is like to feel normal!

I did have a little cry at home which I am sorry for as it worried the life out of my mother, but I just couldn't help it. I don't know if it was relief that there was a reason for feeling like I did or just sheer frustration that this is my second infection in as many months. I have now got to the stage that this feeling crap is my feeling normal... bummer!

Thank you to Nurse Barbara who shot round with jellies, greek salads, fresh fruit and other goodies. At least if I am off I can relax as I now have food in the fridge, as nothing worse than trailing around the shops with a temperture.
So off to bed now.

Lots of love Debbie x
