Well hopefully the docs are able to help you! I hate being on meds, but sometimes no other way!

I saw my doctor this past Friday. He asked "Am I your family doctor?" I said "I thought so, that is why we registered with you when we moved here". Doctor said "If I am your family doctor, then you need to come see me more than once a year! That way I can get to know you and your state of health." Anyway I have a physical in three weeks! Yay!

God bless,

Pedro

Didn't get the results. Guess tomorrow. Filling the scripts had a wrinkle too - iron out tomorrow. I'm just not sharp. I got lost driving to the hospital. Got lost driving 4 miles home from Walmart. Hummmmm. Well, it was dark ....

My lung infection is much worse. Evidently current protocol dictates they work up a scale from weaker meds to strong. Don't want drug resistant bacteria developing. So; my early meds didn't kill it before it spread in my lungs, throat, and ears. Now it's a real mess, and they are skipping the intermediate stages - going for the strongest. Sent me straight to hospital for chest X-ray. And, I saw the films on the screen as they read them right away. Hope my trained machine shop eye is wrong. surrender

Ok. I need to lay down. Just wanted to check in. Guess the rest of the Christmas presents will wait.

Gary,

I'm so sorry to hear that your illness has spread and worsened. Because of my lung disease, I take chest infections very seriously. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hi guys.

Got my meds. Super bug fighters. I'll be good.

We finally got some X-ray results and they are "not" gonna call it pneumonia. So that's good.

I'll get stronger quick.

Looking forward to Christmas!

Hi Gary,

Please try to remain resting and let the medications do their part. Sometimes some resting and a bunch of liquids is all you need to make the difference. I'll keep you in our prayers.

Be good,
