Nearly 2 full days of sleep, herbal tea and puppy snuggles and I’m starting to feel a little physically better which makes the rest feel more manageable. Mega doses of antibiotics and prednisone help more than a little, too.

I’m still tired and wear out pretty quickly, but the fever has broken and my overall pain has gone away. My lungs are still tight and breathing not easy quite yet, but I don’t have the elephant on my chest any more. The cough is worse, but sometimes that’s a good thing.

My mood has started to shift. Thank goodness!!! I sobbed for over an hour last night. It’s been a very long time coming!

Back to the chair with my knitting, the puppies and tv. Sleep will probably come again soon. Small steps at getting things done and getting me back in balance.
