I might actually finish this off. But not today :)

I have been seriously ill. Went to the clinic on Monday and had some tests and chest Xrays, and long story short, I have Influenza A that went immediately to my lungs and turned to pneumonia. My oxygen was 88, which I guess is pretty low. I was given two different antibiotics to take, plus a steroid and some cough meds. I am finally beginning to feel slightly better. Very slightly. I changed my sheets and that tired me out so much that my wheezing sounded like I was gargling pudding and every little cough felt like I was being stabbed in the back. Funny thing is, I had both the flu and pneumonia vaccines in October. Maybe it would have been worse without them?

Back to bed now. But I am deeply grateful for tea.

I hope you feel better quickly

Oh, that sounds horrible! I hope you will fit again soon. I think that some herbals would be perfecet for you. But any hot tea maybe.

Stay in bed, keep drinking and it will be gone soon. Hopefully! Fingers crossed and prayers for you.

OMG, I hope you feel better soon. That is terrifying that it morphed into pneumonia. I hope you have been able to get a good rest!

My son-in-law,mhusband of SuperAnna on here, has flu A as well. The painful cough has one of the hardest parts for him. He even got the flu shot! I guess a different strain is going around.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
