Feel better Kim. Get plenty of rest.
I know exactly what you mean about getting this over with now- so you're all better for the cruise!
I myself have pneumonia and have been home for 10 days. I am SOOO glad this didn't happen at the beginning of December. (whew!!) At least for me I am still able to do the majority of my work on my laptop at home, so I am not even using up any sick days while recuperating.
I am going to the doctor on Monday for a follow up appt and I am going to have him check my ears again to make sure my Ear Infection is not trying to make a re-appearance. One ear was still showing signs of inflammation at my appt last week, so he said he would give me a round of antibiotics at next weeks visit if it didn't show any improvement or was still inflamed.
I am also going to ask him for a copy of all my prescriptions to have with me in-case of an emergency.
