I am not around much because I feel like all I do is complain about being sick. I mean it has been a month now, I'm calling uncle!! When I do get on the computer it is for work and when I get home I just kind of pass out. I am finally to that stage where I want to do things but it usually falls short in execution. I know you guys are as tired of hearing me talk about it as I am talking about it.
On that note, if one more person at work comes up to me and tells me they understand how I feel because they aren't feeling well, they are getting punched in the throat as soon as I can muster the energy. For one, I envy your allergy issues. I understand it is miserable it's allergies, suck it up buttercup. And, if you really are sick...stay the fuck away from me. I am still having to lay down and rest in the middle of the day, I don't need your germs making me sick again.
OK, enough of that. Well, really that is all I've got. Right now I am working on getting an appetite back. I am on antibiotics until the end of the week so even when I am hungry everything has that gross metalic taste. Same goes for trying to get liquids down. I would so stop taking the medication if I hadn't relapsed already.
Next week I go to the lung doctor. Not really sure what he can tell me that I haven't already heard but what the hell, I'm game.
I have started thinking about the gym. I let my gym membership lapse during the furlough so I think I will shop around a little. I know there is a Gold's about the same distance as my other gym that has a pool, which I am sure will come in handy, but I have not heard anything good about it. I haven't actually been inside so I need to go and judge for myself. There is always the Y but the one close to me is in a really bad part of town, granted it has a nice pool, the other one is clear across town. I went last year with a groupon but I had a friend going with me, I know I will not go alone.
What I want is to wake up early and run when it is 60 degrees. That isn't going to happen for awhile. I am pretty sure I am going to have to skip St. Louis. I am not making any decisions right now but seriously, I don't see a half marathon in me next month. I have high hopes for finishing Route 66 in November but I don't see another PR. I am going to call the fall running season a wash and start ramping up the pintrest training plans for spring.
Man I feel like a debbie downer. I really am feeling better!!

ReplyDeleteHang in there Terrie!
ReplyDeleteHang in there is right! Pneumonia recovery can be a lengthy process- best thing is to take it slow. My husband had pneumonia (otherwise a healthy person) and it took a while-- each day you'll be a bit better!
ReplyDeletenice job sickie! Hope you feel better ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely not the time to be planning for a half-marathon. Let St. Louis go and focus on getting well!
