Many thanks to all of you who kept up with my adventures through Joriesfollylol's page!! Here's the LINK to catch up if you need to. To make a long story short, I was admitted to the hospital on Monday afternoon with Pneumonia. What we thought were flu symptoms ended up being a total surprise and a blessing in disguise. I woke up Friday morning with a sore throat, assumed it would go away and got on with my day. Saturday rolls in and I feel like crap and I assumed that Sunday I would feel better as time went on. By Monday afternoon I was begging for a bullet. I got a doctor instead, damit! lol We were headed out to an Urgent Care facility and by pure blessing couldn't find it and settled for an Emergency Room instead. An IV, Chest X-ray and blood/urine test later, I was being admitted for Pneumonia. Had I gone to the Urgent Care as intended, they would have treated the symptoms of ear infection, sore throat, cough and Urinary Tract Infection but not done the Chest X-ray and not caught the Pneumonia. I also had another mass on my left lung which the docs weren't sure was Pneumonia related, blood clot or something entirely different. I'm being treated by Asprin Therapy incase it's a clot and will have more Chest X-rays done after the Pneumonia is gone to see if it's dissipated or not. I will continue treatment as appropriate at that time. I still feel like death on a hotplate but I'm feeling very blessed (DeathsBlessing LOL) to have been taken to Emergency instead of Urgent Care. Again, many thanks to all of you who posted in support of me on Joriesfollylol's page!!
You know, during times like this, you really get to know your "partner" and it shows their true colors in high definition! I've had boyfriends, who when I was sick, were nowhere to be seen. Doug is absolutely amazing and I felt truly blessed to have had him catapulted into my life the way he was....or I was, his! :] He made it a point to go through my things at home and bring to the hospital what he anticipated I might need and what he couldn't find of mine, he brought of his own so that I would be as comfortable as possible. I was blown away to see him give up his own stuff to bring to me incase I needed it. And of course every girl hopes for flowers when she's in the hospital, but many men have been known to let them down, not Joriesfollylol! He didn't bring flowers, he did much better! When we were first doing the "courting dance", one of our inside jokes was that when one had a question about the other and asked, the answer was, "how many strawberries and kisses is it worth to you to find out the answer?" "Doug, how many times have you driven to San Francisco on vacation? Well, Moonlit, how many strawberries and kisses is it worth to you to find out?" And so the dance went. Doug came to the hospital with a brand new pair of pajamas for me that had strawberries and kisses on it. How absolutely cool is that? Way better than flowers any day! You rock, Doug, you're the best at bedside manners........among other things!!!

Thank you, Doug for everything you've done for me and for every day that you've spent with me!

Again, many thanks to all of you for your support, well wishes, healing energies, blessings, thoughts and prayers! You guys rock!
