Thanks, Leeann. My pain went away as soon as I went back on full liquids, thank God. I need one more week of them before i can try purees again.

Will do. As Roxytrim says, lots of rest, hot tea and take your medication. I'm glad they found out what was wrong. I can't imagine it and asthma. Take good care of yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thanks, Linda. Yeah, asthma and pneumonia are not fun together. I haven't had pneumonia for years now, but back when I was teaching in the Toronto area, years ago, I used to get it all the time.

Hope you feel better soon. I have been battling a sinus infection and impacted sinus for the last almost 3 weeks, on my second round of antibiotics. Feeling horrible but finally feel like it is clearing up.

Wow Kathy so sorry you are dealing with all of this. You are definitely in my thoughts!

Get better real soon!! Hopefully your tests regarding blood clots come back negative. Very scary.

Keep being strong, and hopefully this will be a distant memory.

Best wishes.

Thanks, Manda.

I didn't hear back from the doctor about the tests so I called, and was told if I didn't hear anything then it probably means nothing is wrong. I still wish he would have called like he said. I see my family doctor on Friday morning, so hopefully he'll be able to access the test results.
