OT maybe tired

ok so.. feeling lots better from the pneumonia, not coughing near as much, just a few times a day and its not the smokers thing i had going on before lol.  But.. im still sooooo dang exhausted! Im taking my vits, not getting in 80g of protein, but more like about 50ish.  Been trying but foood isnt going down so good since i have been sick. Been doing shakes, pudding with protein etc. 
I have SO MUCh to do, yet im sooooooo tired. Still not sleeping well, better, but not near what i should be. I have totally given up the ambien as i just cannot deal with the side effects any longer. they are getting MUCH worse and the more im up doing stupid stuff, im not sleepin anyway so whats the point?
So, anyone have any suggestions for me? Or am i just expecting to much outta myself since im just getting over pneumonia? (prolly the case knowing me lol).
Im reading about what all everyone is getting done and i just wanna go to bed reading it lol. 
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Please take it easy and take care of urself.

Love ya!

thanks lady! appreciate those too!
Miss you lots!!!

Honey, you were *really* sick and it takes time to recover. Do the best you can with the protein as that will help. Have you had a B12 shot lately? That may give you a little kick start, too.

Youre right im sure. You know me.. im way impatient lol.  no i havent had a b-12 shot, just been doing the sublinguals. I will definately get one.. i have to check in the docs office tomorrow. thanks for the reminder.
I gotta tell you, i get exhausted reading your posts lately. I miss having that energy!
B&B are about to divorce me, but its really been to hot for them to be out for a big run anyway.
ok im heading back to the now perm indentation of my butt to the sofa :)

"I gotta tell you, i get exhausted reading your posts lately. I miss having that energy!"

Thanks. I really do type it all out sometimes just so I can see that I actually did something because I look around and there's still so much to be done, I don't feel like I'm even making a dent in it.

It's not really an energy thing for me. It's knowing myself well enough that if I start letting myself wallow into being idle, I'll never dig myself out of it. I'm in a bad enough place already that if I slip any further, it will be disastrous.

believe me, i know EXACTLY what you are referring to. I really had a horrid time this last time i was unemployed.. it was pretty scary. Hope things get better

Breath, oh wait you are doing that -   -- Really it is the infection - You h ave been very sick and your body is trying - repeat trying to recover - it can take a long - yes lllooonnnggg time to recover. You do need your water, protien, and vit, but, that's not going to resolve the recovery from a MAJOR illness.   OK, I may not be Gina, but, that's my best nursey voice.
Lovew ya and get well  - spelled R-E-S-T!

Gaye,
thanks so much for chiming in on this. I kinda thought i just might be impatient lol.  Ok i need to hit the grocery store in a bit (gawd this heat!) but other than that, my  butt will be in the now perm indentation on the sofa :)
love you too.. thanks again!

Flip your cushion on that sofa honey!! And, think of how much smaller that dent is now than a year ago!!!!!
