Four weeks and counting

For the past month (ever since my parents left town on the 13th of March), I've been sick.  The first bout of sickness came from lack of sleep, and after about a week, I started feeling better.  So instead of trying to take it easy until I fully recovered, I took on more than I could handle with my cakes, all while Adam has been working super late during tax season.  So I started getting more sick... and more sick... and so sick that finally yesterday I caved and went to see a doctor.  Why didn't I go in earlier?  Because our health insurance isn't very good, and I'm the budgeter of the family :)  But it was starting to become apparent that I was NOT getting any better.  So after 4 hours in Quick Care, followed by another 4 in the ER, I found out I have PNEUMONIA in my lower left lung (right side of the x-ray).  Lovely.  So I'll be sitting in bed for the next few days, trying to finally fully recover.  Thank goodness for a wonderful mother-and-father-in-law that completely took care of me and my kids yesterday and who is still taking care of the kids today (thanks, Julie!).  I'd probably just be getting worse without them (or Adam would have had to have worked for 72 hours straight and then we would both have pneumonia). I'm also soooo grateful that Adam and the kids haven't gotten it.  The doctor said some forms can be contagious, so either I got the good non-contagious kind, or I've just been really lucky :)  Either way, the doctor gave me some of his cool masks to wear around the kids and hubby.
