Hey, y’all! I’m sorry if you were worried about me with me not being on! @VOLSONLY stopped by the library today while I was trying to get a million books out of the book drop on my first day back at work. (He looked familiar so I kept going through all the kids I taught because they’re always coming around expecting me to know how they look grown up because they think I know everything. Then he mentioned my dad so I am thinking whose kid is this. Then he said Volnation, and the light came on because I really don’t know everything. 😂 I wanted to run and give him a hug, but I really didn’t have the energy.) He said y’all had been worried. I’m sorry! I have just had so much besides me going on. My dad also in the hospital. He will be 86 next week and has only went to the doctor in the last few years for high blood pressure and few times for anxiety. He is in shock that he is so weak still. My husband missed 3 weeks work with covid, worked a week and then missed last week with a stomach virus he picked up. Well, plus the sinus infection we had between the other virus (flu?) we had at the end of December. Then there’s our son and DIL divorcing every other week. She likes to send him to us. Anyway, I think I slept two weeks with the covid except when blowing my nose from the sinus infection. When we could get up I wanted to get to the doctor for an antibiotic. He had one here that he had not taken once when the doctor prescribed it. 🙄 But he got over his infection. Called my doctor and 7 to 10 days! So we went to an urgent care in Jasper. Before I could get my sob story out, she put the oxygen thing on my finger and ran out of the room. The doctor came in and said loudly, “We’re calling an ambulance! I don’t have the equipment here for this!” Granted my brain was not working well, but I asked if my husband could not just drive me right down the road to the ER? She got all hysterical and said we would have to sign all kinds of papers for her to let me leave there. I was like okay. So she went out and scared my husband to death. 🙄 So ambulance took me to Parkridge in Jasper so I could wait 8 hours to be transported to Chattanooga. Double pneumonia, and I had no idea because I have had trouble breathing since the blood clots in my lungs. The first day I talked to the doctor I told him I went in for a sinus infection. He said it doesn’t matter if your in China or Africa or wherever it is always a sinus infection. When being released, I brought up the sinus infection. He said that he wished he had known! LOL. I finally got an antibiotic!

I just have not been back on because I am not my normal sweet self. The doctor told me it could take months to get back to normal. So months to get back to my normal chronic fatigue self. Plus trying to deal with everything else. Frustrated with GA winning as bad as I hate AL. And with all the NIL and the player carousel. Didn’t want to read all the bad stuff right now. Anyone got some good news for me? Football or personal?

And, Volsonly, please come back when I am more myself! Usually people say I always smile and make them feel welcome wherever or whenever!

My thoughts and prayers are with you @SweetasSoda. I went to the hospital last Saturday with the same thing, COVID pneumonia. Spent 5 days in there on oxygen, steroids and antibiotics. Was sent home with oxygen and meds. Oxygen will be your friend. Hardest part is all the coughing. I am still fighting this thing…it is a booger.

Trying to do anything without the oxygen wears me out in no time. Just climbing the stairs is exhausting.

On top of anything you may be prescribed, let me suggest 4 additional things. 1) Ibuprofen - you may get headaches accompanied by cold hands and feet. Or, you may get headaches from all the coughing. Ibuprofen helps. 2) Zinc Lozenges - horse sized tablets that you let dissolve in your mouth (don’t recommend chewing). These helped alleviate a lot of the coughing. 3) A nebulizer - for both Budesonide and Albuterol (prescriptions required). And do a lot of breathing exercises even though it causes more coughing. I was a slow learner. 4) A nasal rinse.

This is going to take a lot of time to get over. Be patient. Hopefully your recovery is quicker than mine.

Thank you for the prayers! I am so sorry you have had to suffer through this also!!! Funny thing is I have not been coughing really unless I over exert and get out of oxygen. It’s just been blowing out bloody blobs. Grosses stuff I have ever seen.

How exactly did you get an antibiotic?!?!?!?

Will be thinking of you, get better fast..

I’m sorry I should have gotten on here to update. I had texts and Facebook messages that kept me busy. I really wasn’t that bad. The steroids helped and the antibiotic helped more!
