I wish I could have fought it off without Anton's Lyn. You've a strong immune system there. Just in time for the trip tomorrow.

I'm still home my heart rate is dropping and never got to the mountainous regions of when I was poorly, poorly. The pain is slowly subsiding. Slowly but the breathlessness means I've fallen out with the stairs again.

I had my chest x-ray. The results will be with the GP in 2 weeks. 2 weeks? That's helpful! But I have another GP appointment in the morning and it's with my favourite doctor so I'm going to have a good chat about the whole shebang.

MIL is helping me tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about seeing her for the first time but time is healing. I just don't think she knows how upset I've been and I think that in itself means that she didn't mean to be as nasty as I took it. I will move on but Jones' is long out my life.

I'm in bed being a good girl and being looked after. It's fab having older children sometimes

Edit: not Anton's (huh?) Antibiotics.

Fuds I think your favourite GP will be able to shorten those results . Ours chases up such things so hopefully you may know the verdict by the end of the week .
MIL will learn by observation that she, her son and grandchildren are very lucky to have you in their lives . Just take it slowly and if she says something triggering stay calm and ask her why she should think that. For everyone's sake it is better to avoid discord so handle it quietly and firmly .
Candle has been lit for the last couple of hours so hopefully all will be well .

I've had a very long day . DD has been having a few good weeks without being sick and living in the loo after the MTX . She started a bad reaction on Sunday and was still being sick this morning .
I had to phone the hospital today to rearrange that long awaited appointment with the main consultant .
There is no way she can manage that long journey tomorrow morning .
They've rearranged it for the last week in November so fingers crossed that will go ahead .
I did a lone fast run around town this afternoon stocking up on fresh stuff , going to the bank and pharmacy . Perishables are away , everything else will have to wait to tomorrow morning .
She's managed to keep a little Tomato and Basil soup down after days of not being able to eat . I'm hoping things will settle soon as she takes 13 different meds every day now some twice a day and she needs to eat before taking them and keep the meds down .

Hope everyone's ok . I'll be off to bed soon .
Much love
polly

PS Re Anton , why do you think the queen of the typos types ABs

I have pneumonia. My chest is now clear according to the sounds but my heart rate indicates otherwise as does the pain and breathlessness that I still have. I'm deeply upset but I am still at home with the antibiotics that I normally have at hospital. I've had a blood test and polly you were right, nice GP is going to try and get that x-ray for Friday's appointment.

He gave me a lot of his time and looked over everything. He's getting me to see respiratory consultants and he has focused on my acid reflux issues. We're going to talk about it on Friday's appointment but there is a possibility that I could be breathing in stomach acid and that is his first plan of attack with me.

This is the first time I have gone through the GP for the pneumonia. The others times I've gone to the GP and told that my chest is clear, have some amoxicillin or naproxen for muscle pain only to end up being blue lighted days later. With this doctor I'm being taken seriously (i expect now because of the history) and also offered hope that we can investigate why it's happening deeper than blood results at the hospital.

He said I'm not to be cross about not getting the p jab earlier because I don't have a temperature indicating the cause is not bacterial. He's thinking it could be aspiration pneumonia.

Bummer friends. But I have a bit of hope that we might eventually get some sort if reason why.

MIL was fine but she goaded me into talking about it. She said that she wanted nothing to do with it and that we should be fine but is aware thst Jones' doesn't want to see me at family functions for fear of what she might say to me. What it is thst I have done that's made her some sort of victim I do not know but I took your advice polly and said that I didn't want any confrontation with anyone because it would effect my family and if she feels like that then 'my family' and I won't be at any functions she's at. Done. Let it go. Get on with trying to feel better. DH is mad because she brought it up right now when I'm ill but doesnt want to say anything because she's picking our youngest up fom school for the next few days. The fact im actualky talking about it gives it all some sort prevelance in my life. It's all irrelevant. I just wish I didnt need help rpfrom her right now.

I can't believe I still have to bore you all with the P word though! I'm afraid I'm not going anywhere you poor poor people I just wish I cod give support not continually receive it! I'm going to owe Polly a small fortune in candles Lyn!

You're a sweet, sweet lady Lyn. Get yourself on that train and immerse yourself in your little ones. Xx
