So I went to a walk in clinic this morning.  I just could not stand feeling like this anymore.  And my doctor couldn’t see me until Friday and I knew I could not wait anymore.  The diagnosis was bronchitis.  Now I have had bronchitis before but I have never been this sick.  I wasn’t getting enough oxygen in my blood so they did a breathing treatment right there in the office.  Afterwards it was a better- not at 100%, but at 96%- which is acceptable.  So the doctor put me on an inhaler and a nice strong prescription because I have an infection.  Now I’m just waiting to feel better.

What can I say other than WOW!  It has been a long time since I have written.  It’s funny too- because one of my last posts was about staying healthy this winter.  And the reason I haven’t posted- I have been so sick that I haven’t been posting at all.  I’m not sure if I have the flu or what- but I can tell you that I don’t think I’ve ever been this sick in my life.  I am soooo careful about hand-washing and not touching things in stores in case they have germs that it just doesn’t make sense that I am so sick.  The only thing I can think of is that we went to eat breakfast at a buffet.  So, I’m assuming some sick person must have sneezed in the food or touched the silverware- something like that.  Either way- I have been sick for a week and I am so exhausted.  The thing that upsets me the most is that I have been looking forward to Christmas for months- kind of like it’s the only thing that has kept me going.  And now I have been so sick I can’t wrap presents or do any baking.  And I just want to feel better.

Winter is here (well, not officially for a few more days, but it will be here soon) and so is the season of colds and the flu.  We all want to stay healthy and avoid getting these germs- so here are a few tips to keep you healthy!

• Eat right- eat your fruits and veggies.  Eating cookies and chips is bad for your body.
• Get enough sleep.  Your body can’t fight germs off as well if you are exhausted.
• Wash your hands.  I tend to be a little obsessive about hand washing- but do it all of the time.  Carry hand sanitizer with you and keep your hands clean.
• Get your flu shot.  Getting a flu shot does not make you sick.  You may have a few mild symptoms but it will be nothing compared to the actual flu.
• Avoid people who are sick.
