yoga yesterday, only stretched a few moments today, busy day.. and work now 3-11pm blahhhhhhhhhh

I gotta get into the pattern of doing yoga daily.. it feels so good...just gotta fit it in...wake a bit early or something... hugsss,sarah

Erin, how did the doctor appointment go? I bet you are on antibiotics. Delsym was always worthless to me when I'd try it on my kids' coughs.

Nice job on the yoga Sabi. Keep us posted.

I swam a mile today and it was delightful. It was up to 84 degrees here in Florida today.

I never got to my doctor's office, but I did get some antibiotics. The weather here was really horrible this morning. I wasnt going to be able to make it there. I barely made it to the pharmacy to get my antibiotics.

They gave me a Z-pack...which is Zithromax.

I took the first two, and at first I felt like it was making me feel worse, but then my chest felt lighter, and now I'm still coughing like crazy, but I can tell a HUGE difference.

I'm still trying to cough up my spleen, but I can tell that whatever was in my lungs is starting to clear out and is letting air back into the lungs.

I just wish the cough would quit. I'm getting tired.

and weird, my left hand doesnt feel as numb as it did earlier today. Only time I had a fever was one day last week when the cold first hit me, but I wonder if the crud in my lungs was still triggering some extra numbness the past few days?

Erin, call your doctor and ask him to prescribe some codeine cough medicine --its cheap and effective. Tell him you cannot rest because of the cough, and that the cough prevents you from sleeping. It works VERY well. You might want to take a few Fibercon pills, because for some people, it can be a bit constipating.

I swam a mile today and weight liftedn for a half hour last night.

I did 90 minutes of vaccuuming, sweeping, mopping and scrubbing today. No time for exercise here lately!! Between all that's going on and chasing kitty cats it's all I can do to keep up! Applying for jobs is very time consuming. I should have gainful employment within the next month or two? (At least I hope so!) :eek: I'm spending money like a drunken sailor, lol.

I did actually get some sleep last night and most of today. I'd wake up coughing, or I'd get up and go upstairs for something to drink, but I finally got some sleep. (actually went to bed really really early last night. 11pm! I dont usually fall asleep till 4am)

I feel like I have more laryngitis today, but I think it's more from the coughing. The other day, I think the laryngitis was from not being able to breathe and get enough air to project my voice.

I'm still really super tired, and my head hurts from all the coughing, but I actually do feel a bit better. Being able to breathe is nice.

some stretching.. as woke in pain! best way to describe when wake or sleeping or night time... things hurt tons... once I get moving around more the better things feel... but sit back down... it all is hurting...uggg

anyhow stretching...and took a very short walk in the snowfall today... short due to my feet bottom of them are in pain as well! :(

hugsss keep moving all, sarah

Yahoo! Went to the fitness center and did 35 minutes of walking on the track...it is all the surgeon will allow for the 12 weeks following surgery. I've been walking outside with DH and doggie but never got more than about 1/4 mile in.
It felt crummy and good at the same time to move again...my legs are so bad either from the MS or from the crestor the pcp put me on and took me off of as soon as pain/weakness began. It's hard to walk with the muscles so weak and achy, but I chugged along listening to Pearl Jam and John Lennon...I feel human again!!:D

Erin, I hope I don't have what you have. I spent all day tuesday flying to Tulsa, driving 4 hours, leading a 3 hour meeting, then flying back to Houston Tuesday night. I spent all morning yesterday walking at a site walk...and my voice is a wreck. I am assuming it is just all the talking, but yesterday i did feel a bit feverish in the afternoon.

Then I went to spin class last night and did a double spin class... :D ...about 100 minutes. The instructor forgot that the schedule showed her doing 2 classes last night and she needed to leave...so she left the CD in the stereo and let it run while my wife and I did the 2nd class by ourselves, then shut down and locked up the studio behind ourselves. HR monitor says I burned 1254 calories. I pretty much crawled to the bed once I ate dinner and relaxed a bit.

Now crazy me is about to pack up and head for the gym for another class tonight. I am going to sleep like a baby...

Thats great you are moving around sabi :)

Debbie, some of it might be due to de-conditioning of your body. Let's see if you are doing better in two weeks with daily walking.

Erin, you are really ahving a tough time of it with this infex. I wonder if you had the swine flu with this secondary respiratory infex. 60 million americans have had the swine flu so far.

I swam a mile today: we just ended our heat wave tonight.
