What do pneumonia, strep throat, dual ear infections, dehydration, and exhaustion have in common with the wife?
They are all cohabiting rather unharmoniously right now.
After turning over several times last night thinking one of the cats had crawled into bed with us and was mewling pathetically (not something that's uncommon, yet they are never very loud), I realized it was Aud's laboured breathing and the wheezing sound that was produced as she struggled to breath and not the cats.
After a couple of hours spent in her physicians office this afternoon, accompanied by a chest x-ray, she was sent home with strict orders that if her lungs haven't cleared up by Monday morning that she's going for a stay in hospital for a while.
Auds, being just a little on the stubborn side, insists she'll be back in the saddle on Monday. Knowing her intense dislike of more needles and the general smell of medical facilities, let's hope her hard-headed nature wins out and beats each of these illnesses into submission.
In the meantime, me and Lil'G are taking good care of her (you know she has to be feeling really bad, because she let me cook dinner tonight). I provide the matériel support and Lil'G provides the hugs, the smiles and the laughs. With us for support, she'll be right as rain in no time.
Big G & Lil'G
