Well at lease it is not pneumonia - - - - yet. I been feeling sick for the last week or so and finally went to see the doctor. After she checked and did an x-ray told me I had Bronchitis and I am one step away from pneumonia. For some reason I can’t help but to remember our friend Denny, he was always having problems with pneumonia.

 

Take care everyone and God bless you all

    Sorry

    I was wondering how you were doing.  Last I heard from you, you were using a spray antibiotic to find out if your 'smell' problem was an infection.  I went on antibiotics around the same time.  Since the sinus abcess during treatment I have been having problems with my sinus.  Needed to use nasal rinse daily and yuck was still coming out.  It waqs decided I had an infection.  I have been doing a lot better.  Finally on the mend after my surgery last year (today is one year).  After the eye removal because of cancer on the optic nerve I had a lot of setbacks, finally feel like I am recovering.  Yes, I remember Denny and all that he went through.  You two guys have/had to really fight to keep going.

    Well at least it's not pneumonia

    phew on that one....and glad they caught it before it took that last step! 

    I remember too.....that Denny had one blast of pneumonia after another.....just a few months ago I went on a search for his posts to reread them....he had such a good sense of humor.....

    Get well

    soon, have you been checked for aspiration ? I thought that could have been Danny's problem when he was posting...

    Up-date

     

    The Antibiotic the doc gave me was making me sicker then the bronchitis. My wife call to tell the doctor and she said to stop using the antibiotic and she will call in something else. That was Friday evening, we have been checking with CVS but as of today nothing, I think the doc forgot to call it in before closing up for the week-end. For now I am using some old-timers stuff call Oil of Eucalyptus and it is working pretty well at helping me to get the mucus out of the lungs. I spent today just being lazy and resting, think I will do the same tomorrow.

     

    God Bless

    Hope you are feeling better.

    Hope you are feeling better. Of course the doctor forgets on a holiday weekend. I hope her office is open today and you can get going again on the anti biotic. I have heard that eucalyptus is good for antibacterial but never tried it. Let me know how it works.

    Praying for a speedy recovery. Debbie
