Hey Y'all....  It's ME..... Shug!   For those of you who have noticed that I've been away from blog land....let me assure you it wasn't planned.    I did manage to throw my Valentines post together, but it was barely.

I do want to tell you that back to back "Bugs" are not anything I would want any of you to experience!  Two weekends ago.. I came down with the stomach bug!  Lots of up-Chucking and all of the unpleasant stuff that comes along with this virus!  I was sick for about 4 days and when all the really bad stuff was gone, I honestly felt absolutely terrible.   I was dehydrated and all of my electrolytes were all out of sorts.   On Thursday of that week.. I was kinda getting back to my old self.

I took a small "girls day out" trip with my friends on that Friday.  I actually felt good!   I really did!

On Sat, I started feeling bad and then here came bug number 2.    I couldn't believe it.   I had fever, chills, aches, pains... And the chest congestion had set in.  By Monday morning of this week... I was one sick lady!!!    Dehydration again... Pneumonia setting in... Headache...

Sam took me to the Dr.  On Monday morning and I got a huge shot of antibiotic, medicine for the nebulizer, and a good cough syrup.   Had a chest X-Ray done,  flu test, and blood work.   Today... I feel a good bit better, but had to call the Dr. back because I still have a lot of wheezing!   Now, I get to take steroids for about 7 days!  

I can tell you, my body is exhausted.    My sweet Sam, now has the crud.  

I guess it's that time of the year...(for sickness)... But I sure am ready for all of this to get out of here.  

So... This is the reason... I've been gone!     Prayers please for Sam and I both.  

Shug
