Go to the ER, they'll check the goo you cough up, might culture it to see what kind of pneumonia you have, then they'll give you some antibiotics probably. They'll also probably x-ray your chest just to see how bad things could be.

If you let it go too long, they'll end up hospitalizing you, and you dont want that to happen. Much easier to recover at home, dont you think?

So go, have a doctor check you out, and when you're really sick, it's amazing how easy it is to show up at the doctor's office wearing your jammies, having not taken a shower in a week, or combing your hair...and not caring that people think you look like a homeless person. At least the last time I did that, I changed into clean pajamas just so I would be slightly less offensive.

CHERYL: Get your you know what to the ER. Don't play around with
something li9ke this.
I did in 1969 and it turned into DOUBLE PNEUMONIA. I nearly died. I was in the hospital for 2 months. Did the same thing you are doing now. WAITING

This is nothing to fool around with. SO GET MOVING TO THE ER.

Hi Cheryl. How are you feeling today. Any better? I do hope you do not have pneumonia and your Doc can find a magic bullet to knock this illness out of the ballpark.

I feel so bad for you. Don't be mad when we talk to you, as if we are your Mama, cause we're the good Mama, who really cares.

Check in, when you are able.

Gentle Hugs,

I called the doc this morning. They are seeing me at 1 pm. Now if someone would please remove whoever this person is who is sitting on my chest, it sure would be a whole lot easier to move around...

Thanks for caring everyone. I know I need to see the doc...I just kept hoping I would get better.
