~PNEUMONIA & MY 1st BAD HAIR DAY~

MY 1st BAD HAIR DAY as I woke up this morning and took a quick glance in the mirror, I declared I was having my very 1st BAD HAIR DAY in which I smiled ever so happily!!!
If you look right above my ear, you will see that my hair is all tuffed upwards and it won't lay down unless I wash my hair again. OOOOO isn't that the COOLEST??? Sure makes me happy!!!!
On another note. Late Sunday evening I wasn't feeling so good and I thought I might be getting the strep throat that Maddi had last week. I have this 3 day rule as if you are still sick after 3 days, then we go to the doctors. Well, I was a bit scared because of having just come off of all those chemo treatments and just having surgery 2 weeks ago so we called the doctor.
They said I needed to come in immediately because being through all that I have been through it's not a good idea to wait. Well, guess what.....
I HAVE PNEUMONIA!!!!
I have been giving Azithromycin and if I am not better in 3 days I have to go back to the doctors and we will see about a different route in getting me better.
You have no idea how bad it hurts when I cough.....OH MY GOODNESS, from just having that surgery, I feel like my boobs are ripping open at all the incision areas. OWWIE!!!! So, needless to say, I am going back to bed and I won't be posting on the blog until after Christmas. I just need to get myself better.

I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS and We will see you on the 26th!!!
Hugs and Love, Amy

You poor girl! Pneumonia! I had it in February, just a "touch" and it was downright nasty. I can't begin to imagine the pain and exhaustion after all you have been through. Get some rest and enjoy xmas. I'm a lurker so I'll pop in once and a while to see how you are doing. I love the bad hair day - so good to see hair growing back!

Just rest and take care of yourself, that is the most important thing to do right now. I'll be praying for you and I am loving your bad hair by the way ;)

Hugs,
Dena

Hi sweet Amy,
I hope you are resting & getting better & over that pneumonia. I just stopped by to say I hope you have a very Merry Christmas & I hope for you the best of the best in the New Year with wonderful things coming your way. Love & lots of hugs sent your way.

Judy said...

Hi Amy, I had to laugh when I read your post...I posted you would be complaining about bad hair days soon in your last post but I didn't think it would be so soon. LOL!!! If you have anything like the crud that is going around Denver it isn't good. My daughter was sick for a month with it and I know people who have developed pnemonia too. Take care my sweet friend. I hope you and your family have a perfect happy holiday. Love you lots and hugs to you and your family.

Thanks for keeping this journal of your journey through cancer Amy, your knowledge is brave and courageous, and an inspiration to others, knowing that you write whilst feeling unwell with treatment and surgery. I hope you rested over Christmas and can now begin to enjoy the beginning of the New Year. x
