A few days later

Its been a few days since my last entry and since i am sitting here basically lifeless i thought i would leave a record of the past few days.I finally said i was done to myself,which is a form of surrender,or defeat for me,and i didn't show up for work on thursday or fri.I went to the doctor on thursday afternoon and she was fairly quick to diagnose me with bronciatis,(im sure i didn't spell that right).She treated me for that and pneumonia thinking i had that but didn't want to incure all the hastle and logistics of an x-ray.I understand.I bet she didn't want me in the office let alone running all over it exposing everyone else to all the shit in my throat and lungs.She said the problem probably started as viral and then turned bacterial,whatever the hell that all means.I had a low grade fever and my oxygen level,pulse and B/P were all normal.She didn't give any advice on rest or when to return to work.Poor thing knows me and how i do what i want anyway.She did say if i am still sick in a week to come back and see her for a x-ray.Ok,thats over and i am back home basically going nuts cause my life is ticking and i am not.I have stayed here upstairs,real warm for the last few days and i think i am starting to feel a little better.I still have that nasty caugh but not as bad.Still,when i start caughing i think my head is gonna bust,or at the least all the blood vessels in it.
I don't like to leave my blog on a bad note if i can help it so here is paragraph two.My friend from Oregon called this morning and told me he is in town and to give him a call.We stay in touch by email and telephone but don't see each other as much since he moved.He doesn't know i am sick and probably wants me to come party with him and other friends this weekend.I won't make the party but i will call him and connect that way.I got a very.i mean very uplifting email from my daughter-in-law,julie yesterday.I have known her since she was 13 or so and i just grow to love her more with each day.Mike called the other day to check up on me and gave me a warm hug over the telephone.When you have family and friends like i do you pretty much have it all.I am a blessed man.Ok,i can rest for now.
