Heard from JOdi, and her DH is taking her to the hospital.
She's been ill since May 1.

So let's hope she gets to feeling better, real soon!

Hey, anyone and everyone is welcome to come over and cook for me. :-) My problem is that I don't enjoy cooking and find it tedious to spend hours preparing a meal that is eaten in 20 minutes followed by another hour of cleanup and putting dishes away the next day. My least favorite chore is emptying the dishwasher because I'm short. While hubby does spend more time in the kitchen than I do (and he has always done all the grocery shopping), it's still really not cooking per say. It's frying an egg, fixing a salad or heating up something in the microwave. Because of our schedules (my long hours of work, his long hours on the tennis courts...sigh), we seldom see each other before 9pm on weeknights. The kids are both grown and on their own so it's just the two of us. I did manage to grow two healthy kids using my meager cooking skills, so all is not a total loss. :-) I think my biggest problem is that I have no desire to cook. I don't get all excited by the recipe sharing posts (in fact have never opened one) and spend so many hours either at the office or out hiking that fixing and eating a big meal just takes away too much time from my day. And ... to make matters worse, when we remodeled our kitchen three years ago (after being married 35 years), DH suggested we toss basically all of our dishes, cutlery, mixing bowls, etc. This meant we had to start all over just like newlyweds. Now who am I to argue with all new stuff but of course when we do want to make something in the kitchen we always find something else we forgot to replace. So, to wrap this discussion up, I can post a sign up sheet for anyone who would like to come to my house and cook. LOL Jodi-

Hi Lily - I read your profile . . . I live in a farmhouse of about the same vintage in Pennsylvania, too. Ah, sleep! I didn't get enough of it last night, that's for sure. Like many people with FM, I have a window of sleep opportunity each night. Some nights it's very small. If I don't get to sleep right then (and often it comes when I'm in the middle of doing something), I can't fall asleep later when I want to. When that happens, I've found melatonin often solves the problem. I highly recommend it! Last night, thought, I had stayed up late to finish a project that is due today, and even melatonin didn't help. Also like many people with FM, my nervous system is out of whack. I'm kept awake by the slightest disturbance, and "disturbance" could be anything. These days I have my ailing cat, Princeton, in my bedroom. This has not been good for my sleep. Sleep aside, one of the biggest things that has helped my FM is breathing. Proper breathing, that is. Abdominal breathing. I try to make a point of lying down each day and breathing deeply, even if it's only for 15 minutes. Sometimes I fall asleep. But even if I don't, I always get up feeling better.

Here's part of email she semt me!
------------------------------------
I am so happy to be home. 18-days is a long time to be on a ship when half the time you are ill. I am just on my way to the doctor to see what I have. I've been sick since May 1. Have a rattle in my chest and having trouble breathing. Soon as I write this email DH is taking me to the hospital. Just need to have them figure out how to clear my lungs of junk.

Thanks everyone. Back home and back to reality. The doctor said I have bronchitis and gave me a Z-Pac, five days of powerful anti-biotics, and some decongestants for my head and chest.

I woke up on May 1, the day after the ship visited Russia, with a scratchy throat and have been sick ever since. Went to the ship's doctor twice but didn't get much help there. I tried very hard not to miss out on anything but still spent a good portion of my days at sea sleeping in. Didn't miss any shore time but did miss several breakfasts and morning activities. No big deal I suppose. The upside being, I actually lost weight on a cruise. :-)

Got to go back to work this morning. :-(

It will be a while before I have time to get my pictures sorted out.

It sure is no fun being sick on vacation; glad you got the meds you need to make you feel better.

Please be sure to followup with doc if you don't feel better after 48-72 hours on anti-infectives. My bronchitis turned into pneumonia that was very difficult to get over.

Feel better!
Dee
