First, an update for all of you wonderful friends who expressed concern over my bout with pneumonia. I don't go back to the doctor for a check-up until December 6. I have had a quiet week surrounding Thanksgiving with my sweet husband taking care of me. He even cooked his own turkey breast roast for Thanksgiving Day. It was a simple roast that came with its own cooking pan. All he had to do was put it in the oven for a little over an hour. I had a pan of cornbread dressing that I had made and put in the freezer several months ago. All I had to do was defrost it and put a serving into the microwave to warm it up. Open a can of his favorite cranberry sauce and a few veggies and he was happy. I had some fake chicken (I am a vegetarian.), some of my cornbread dressing and some freshly made coleslaw and I had a great meal too. We both missed the family that we usually have surrounding us at our house on Thanksgiving Day. Instead they all met at Daniel's mother's house in Louisiana.
I lost 12 pounds from not having an appetite over a week and a half. I haven't been on the scales recently but have probably gained most of it back since my appetite came back this week. My energy levels are much better and most importantly because of the breathing treatments that I have been doing, my breathing is back to normal. I still have a cough, sinus drainage and fluid behind my ear drums. I have 5 more days of breathing treatments to do.
Thank you all for your prayers and healing energy that you have sent my way. I love and appreciate you all.
