    Home from the funeral early Monday evening. By midnight was running fever and chills. Sick all day Tuesday. Fever broke Tuesday night. Breathing not good. Blood oxygen in mid eighties. Slept all day Wednesday, breathing difficult Wednesday night. VA over nighted antibiotic. Friday now feeling better. Blood oxygen back to ninety. Shortness of breath extreme on any activity. Blood oxygen drops to sixty-nine or seventy! BP rises to one twenty. Should be home free by Sunday.

    I hungary. I'd like to have a ribeye steak, some good bread, potato salad, pork and beans, and a coconut cake. A cup of good coffee.

    I'm going to lay the body down and hope some more.

    Well I had malt-O-meal and toast for breakfast. Didn't eat lunch. Probably have a small TV dinner after while. Is that properly?

    No! You need to be eating your meat and veggies. malt-O-meal is mostly sugar. Throw that in the trash and fry you some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Eat some kind of lunch. A can of pork and beans with peanut butter and crackers is good. A TV dinner might be OK if it has veggies. I haven't eaten one in so many years that I don't know what they have in them now.

    Bill, you have had a rough Spring Time! So sorry for the loss of your brother and then you feeling ill! Take extra good care of yourself and remember that the sun will rise again in the morning for a new day and make it the best day for yourself in whatever way you can.

    Greetings, @Patsy Faye thanks for looking in.
    I'm doing good. Fever down some last night, 101.3.
    Worst problem now is shortness of breath. I'll be good
    to go next week. Hope you've had an awesome week.

    Our son came by this afternoon, took our list to pick up some vittles. Neither of us are able to go to the grocery store right now.
    Roommate wants to buy some prereniels to plant in two flower beds. I want something to attract butterflys and bees but will have
    to wait till we're feeling better. We have two flowerbed that need rejuvenating. Our humming birds have stopped comming around.
    Maybe they are on migration to Central America. Butterflies have also disappeared.

    Nurse called early this a.m. Said, 'blow your harmonica, exercise your lungs.'
    As though I needed reminded. Guess I do, haven't tried for several days.

    Both heat and A/C off in the house. I'm sitting here at the desk, tee shirt
    soaked with sweat. What's that all about?

    They keep telling me my lungs and immune system doesn't have any
    Reserves. I think a dish of strawberry ice-cream would go down good about
    Now.
    All this typing has me breaking hard. Maybe a short power nap is in order.

    Is it hot where you are, maybe you need the AC on
    Or maybe you have caught a cold - I hope not ………….

    Much better @Patsy Faye. Not hot, 78 degrees; I probably caught something. Be good as new by Tuesday.
