Sorry to hear this. As you might have guessed, I was thinking all this had been behind you by now and that you were back to the job of fixing up your new home...well, new to you and your little fuzzy, anyway.
Loved the part about how you described all of your heathcare workers being quite a bit younger than you. Funny how this seems to come about eventually, isn't it. And, funny how you described this situation as well, I might add.
(...hope you're feeling better soon, and thanks for the update here)
I thank you for your kind wishes. I can assure you that it is not truly serious. I can shrug off the body aches and headaches as being no worse than often felt on a day after a night before. The occasional coughing is a wonderful excuse to sip a little more of this wonderful Theraflu. The absolute worst part is the feeling that my get-up-and-go got up and went. I am a worthless lump. One may dream of being able to lay in bed all day with nothing to do but it quickly became a sentence for some heinous crime which I did not know I committed.
A worrisome aspect is that atypical pneumonia can be caused by exposure to mold. Reconstructing a timeline backwards reveals that uncovering the mold behind the paneling roughly corresponds with the incubation time for some common molds. The bright point is that I am not much more ill because that would mean it was aggressive and might need serious treatment. The fact that it has been kept mostly at bay means my body is capable of fighting it.
I am reminded of a doctor long ago who would often say I would be fine if I was a good girl for a week or two. Oh how we both laughed!
I checked with two online weather services before leaving to do errands. Both said we were having light snow. I went to the gas station, bank, post office, pharmacy and lumber yard. Ten-point-eight miles. I counted a grand total of seventeen snowflakes. I grant that I could count only those which were sufficiently large and sufficiently close for me to see and that there many have been multitudes of microflakes within a two mile radius but I would not term that: 'light snow'. I can not think of a proper term but there must be one.
